On an empty road, a car jumping out in front of you could be dangerous. A US SUV driver tried to get away from an accident but instead hit an electricity pole. The security camera footage that has gone viral is amazing.

A grey Toyota Highlander drives quickly through a neighbourhood in Los Angeles. At a T-intersection, a Honda Element stops when it sees the grey SUV. The driver loses control of the Highlander, which slides down the street and hits a lamppost and a pole.

A doorbell camera on the other side of the street caught the accident on film. The car flips over, and wires near palm trees start to spark. The driver of the black Element doesn’t stop when the grey car hits something.
