It is kinda scary to see how literally to ashes these cars burn

Car was heading south, went through the hedge and sheered off a telegraph pole before demolishing the brick and stone front porch.

Normally a telegraph pole will stay put and slice a car in two. They are only alive because they were in a carbon tub.

Also, the driver lost it on a straight road.

It's the left pole on street view. It's actually for power but I don't know what you call it, a power pole?:

Straight road and minimal camber as well. Road appears to have been dry.... Misjudged overtake? Driver distracted?

If he was heading towards westbury, there is a nasty dip in the road that can unsettle the car if you're on it.
But likely at that time of day to have been a deer running across the road, which is common at that spot, my daughter has had a couple of near misses there.

Plumbing and Heating engineer from Trowbridge apparently.

Said a deer ran out in front of him.
