Stupidity. You knock down a pole so it and the wires are laying on the ground. (Chances are the wires are live) Natural selection...

I am sure alcohol may have been a factor. Why did he call a family member to come help pull his car out of the ditch and not call the police instead? What was he trying to hide?

I am an electrician and worked a a line crew for a while doing phone/cable out in Nebraska,,,the Power guys had a line down and it was laying in a ditch and some guy walked through the ditch a half mile away and was hit hard,,but it didnt kill him...one of the two hot conductors had layed in the water and when the stepped in the wet ditch where he was he closed the crcuit and boom,,it did knock him out of the ditch though which was over 9 feet deep and he landed up outside of the ditch about 20 feet away.

It burns when I pee! Uhm well not anymore stupid.

Two ways to look at it
1. A job opening!
2. 1 less person on unemployment!

It all adds up to my tax dollars not getting spent on that dude..

The difference between being a hero/lucky, and being a fool/stupid is all in the timing.
