How in the world did this happen? In posting this image, redditor Every_Commercial556 quoted the driver as saying, "I backed into this and Idk what happened- help." Is there something she's not telling us? Is there a hidden ramp somewhere? Did her car drop out of a tree?
Redditor Hriibek stepped in to save the day with a representation in text that's as good as any video in explaining what happened.
(car and a yellow pole)
-> CAR |
-> CAR/
-> CAR_
-> CA_R
"oh sh*t, I've hit something" starts going forwad
<- CA/R
<- CA|R
Mystery solved.
If you've ever wondered what to do with all those line keys on your keyboard, this is what they are for. Hriibek was lauded by hundreds for his clear explanation.
Next up, let's visualize how the car was removed from the post. That's not so difficult, since tow trucks have winches that will lift up a back end easily, or even a broken bollard. Then you have to visualize the laughs from all the guys at the garage when this car was towed in.
