Scary X5 accident (not me)

[Chip]

So today, I was driving on a 1 lane road going to Target. In front of me, another x5, 3.0i, and 2002- 2003 model. We were going at about 40 mph. From an intersecting street, a Toyota took a left turn in front of the guy in front of me. The Toyota took the turn without stopping for us. The X5 in front of me quickly jerked the steering to the right, to avoid a collision. He went straight into a wooden electrical pole at 40mph. (now, the scariest part) One of the wires snapped and as the power line snapped, it made a big and blue spark in the sky and fell right onto the other guy's X5. The guy that was driving the X5 was right near it, not realizing there was a live power line near him. I quickly signaled him to move away. I pressed the BMW assistance button on my car and the police arrived and the man was fine. Scary thing was, that could have been me. Anyways, on the way back, I saw the fire brigade and police car and the power line was fixed and back up. Luckily, the guy in front of me was lucky to be safe because the pole was right through the engine compartment, inches away from the driver seat. Anyways, just thought I'd share this with you guys...
