Pretty sure this was a former SWIFT driver

Sorry but I just had to post this.... for those SWIFT means Sure Wished I Finished Training.

That was from your dashcam? That's pretty crazy!

Yup from this morning... The driver ran off the road because he was messing with his cell phone and ran the truck up the guide wire holding up the power pole. It climbed up and then flipped to the right landing directly on top the 2 story farm house.

It crushed the upstairs bedroom and major structural damage to the front. Luckily everyone was out working when it happened.

That's one costly Txt or phone call there. Looked like he took the whole power pole with him as well.

Power pole got wedged in his right wheels. It was rather impressive considering no one got hurt.

Sorry, but could not have happened this morning. Jalopnik had this one last month.

Damn internet.... I know.... but couldn't resist a good story. Still most of it is true as that house did have major structural damage and no one got hurt. That driver did get fired and the homeowners sued the company. How that driver didn't get hardly a scratch is mind boggling....

Are you saying "Yup" to it being your dash cam or just from the morning?

According to the Facebook post linked to in that jalopnik article, the person that captured that video sold the rights to it to some viral video website.

Iā€™m not sure what that means re: unauthorized use of still images from the video, but just wanted to point that out.
