Nasty crash

CINCINNATI -- A car split after it crashed into a utility pole Monday afternoon.

The accident happened on Glenway Avenue near Rutledge Avenue in Price Hill.

The crash appeared to be very serious, but police say no one involved had to go to the hospital and the driver walked away with no major injuries.

Police are still investigating the cause of the accident.

At first glance it looked like there was two cars involved, completely missed the pole right above the passenger window on the first picture. Horrible looking crash.

I suspect speed was a factor.

Man, what are these 5th gen's made of, aluminum tin foils or something???!!! I guess a passenger would'nt have walked away, if there was one. Looks like that pole had sliced halfway thru the passenger's side.

It HAD TO BE RACING!!!!!there is no other way to explain a crash.. Racing was involved!
They where probably racing the pole, and the pole cut them off..

Im going to take a rough guess and say he was upwards of 90 on impact... the new cars hold together extremely well and that is an insane amount of damage. They just dont come apart like the old cars used to...
