This happened over the weekend, probably late at night as is often the case, and on eastbound Carbon Canyon Road at the middle of S-curve in Chino Hills, as is often the case.
In fact, there might have been two incidents here. Tire marks lead directly into the power pole, which continues to get bumped and battered on a regular basis. Note the bollard at the right thrown back at an angle, while its sibling is knocked flat toward the fence.
To the left of that is the speed limit sign for the curve, with its left post cut off just above the "ankle." This sign has been partially or completely knocked down many times over the years.
It, like the pole, is an easy target for drivers, chemically impaired or otherwise, who just can't negotiate the obvious curve. Somehow, those reflectors, added after the last incident, didn't prevent this one.
Portions of the tailpipe and muffler and other sundry and assorted car parts mark the path and the fence behind the sign has also (yet again) been partially damaged.
I always feel sorry for the poor people in those two houses. I'm sure they get woken every time it happens.
