I’d love to know what the emergency services thought when they arrived at this curious scene on Church Street, Medina last Saturday. The Jackson Sun reports that the driver of this precariously suspended car hit a fence, drove “down the fence” in what sounds like a manoeuvre Tony Hawk would be proud of, and then went up the guy wires of a power pylon.
The car had climbed to such a height that the driver wasn’t able to escape, and had to rely on the local fire department to be extricated from the vehicle. The car itself was taken down several hours later.
Amazingly, the unnamed driver was not intoxicated at the time, nor was she suffering from a medical issue. Police suspect excess speed contributed to the bizarre outcome of the crash.

Excess speed? That Saturn must have had an engine swap
It’s a Saturn, what do you expect? They’re unstoppable. I do the typical douchebag country boy truck thing with mine and park it on top of snowbanks
The car is a Saturn… It was only trying to live up to its name, taking inspiration from the SATURN V Rocket. Nasa only laughed when it asked permission into its space program, but undeterred, the car found itself a launch tower and aimed for the moon.
Watched too much Fast and Furious movies, I see?
I was shocked to be honest.
Sorry.
Im just trying to understand the physics behind this. And failing hard
How are we completely sure this ISN’T pastor maldonado?
The parking stunts went out of control…
