What do you do if you run into a power pole?

Unless you are in immediate danger, stay in your car. Call for help if you can.

If you must leave it, leave whatever way is farthest from the pole or any downed lines. If you have no option (maybe the car is on fire or about to explode) but to go near wires, find the ground cable (should be the lowest one on the pole) and follow it away. Very high voltage can jump, but if the ground cable is between you and the high tensions lines, the voltage will jump to the ground, not toward you. Assuming you get out safely, call for help if you can.
