Looks like whoever it was got a little behind in their steering and ran out of talent as well as road at the same time.

Looks like it was hit by a pole and I'm guessing that the pole was not moving at the time, but it *is* just a guess on my part.

Airbags on that Scoob?? don't think it had them.... I don't think an Airbag would make a difference in a crash of that Severity either

The wipers came on, so unless it was raining the driver definitely had abit of a moment and clipped the wiper stalk (we've all done it when trying to rescue a wayward back end
)

Can't see any evidence of other cars being involved (or at elast hitting the Scoob)

Firstly and most importantly. Glad the driver survived

Secondly and a speculation. The damage has sign post or lamp post written all over it.

We've all had moments when things haven't quite gone according to plan. Unfortunately sometimes you hit something in the process of trying to recover it. Any accident you can walk away from is a good one regardless of the wreckage to your pride and joy.
