Kevin, i reinacted the same thing with a telegraph pole in 1995 2 miles from my house. cammo net went in the left track, this had the effect of turning the vehicle and then first "through" a telegraph pole (braced for impact, snapped it like match stick) and then into the ditch. I called the police (as there was a broken pole but no damage to the carrier). We then had one crewman controling traffic, one pulling the net out of the track and me in the driving seat backing the carrier out of the ditch. Job done and the police turn up, they did not even get out of there car, told me to throw the broken pole in the ditch and they would take care of the report. never heard a thing since !
