Memphis squad car runs up utility pole during chase on Elvis Presley Blvd.

Saturday, 4 May 2013




This cop got a real shock when he crashed his car into an electricity pole.

Officer Jonathon Bond was chasing a non-seatbelt-wearing suspect on Elvis Presley Blvd. in Memphis on Monday when he clipped a guy wire and sent the vehicle flying.

Incredibly, he walked away unscathed. Taking a picture of the upended car, he sent it to Memphis police director Toney Armstrong.

"I can certainly say it was a little shocking to me to see one of my squad cars half way up a pole," Armstrong told Wreg.com.

"Every time you get to a point on this job when you say I've seen absolutely everything, nothing could shock or surprise you, you get something that shocks and surprises you."

News Channel 3 reports that drivers who came to a halt to look at the scene were given tickets for slowing down traffic.
