Miami cop crashes her car UP a telephone pole... and walks off without a scratch

A moment of distraction while driving can be the difference between life and death.

Thankfully a recent Miami accident resulted in a damaged car and quite a few laughs.

A police officer was driving his patrol car early Tuesday morning when he was distracted and drove his car up a telephone pole.



Quite a mess: The patrol car drove onto a tension wire in Miami

The officer, whose name has not been released, somehow managed to accidentally drive onto a telephone wire.

Police detective Willie Moreno told CBS Miami that the patrol car 'rode on to the tension rod of this pole' and not the pole itself.



The car didn't stop fully until he was at a 45-degree angle.

The officer was unharmed, but he was trapped in the car while he waited for emergency workers to come help him out of his predicament.



Spectacle: Onlookers couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the police patrol car at a 45-degree angle up the telephone wire

'For us to look and see him come out of the car, not a scratch on him,' said onlooker Yvonne Sorellis.

'He didn’t even look shook up because he was just laughing,' she told the local CBS affiliate.

Emergency workers were able to remove the car without damaging the telephone pole or creating any issues for neighbors. One thing they did create was a spectacle, one that Ms Sorellis said was better than a movie.

'Just been very interesting; I hadn’t seen nothing this good since ‘Bad Boys’ with Will Smith,' she said.

Little damage: Surprisingly the driver was not injured at all, though he was stuck for a period of time and had to be removed by emergency workers
