Poor car.

They must have hit the pole at some speed.

speeding with 6 people in the car... smart

I went past the intersection on the way to work this morning to have a look. The pole they hit is opposite the the road they were coming out of and on the left.. so they came screaming down manchester, turning right to enter moorhouse, aiming to go past the overbridge, went straight through the intersection, turning only slightly right and hit the pole. They must have been going quite fast, unless it was raining? I don't remember.

Nope Sat night was clear as far as I know. An evo could get up a crap load of speed from that distance. So there's two(?) possibilities;

1. They didn't bother braking much and just went wider than they wanted or,
2. They did brake but where going so fast as to be :unbeleeva

Conclusion: Numpties either way.

Maybe they clipped the center island and rolled into the pole?
