Left a basketball game on a Friday night, went down the slope to exit the parking lot, turned left to go home, heard a police car siren, turned to the right too much and my car went up the guide wire to a power pole. Sparks flew. Needless to say, this incident knocked out electrical power to hundreds of homes in and around the surrounding area.
