Dramatic footage showed the moment a power pole pierced an SUV over the weekend in Washington state -- but the couple inside survived the harrowing incident. Tukwila Police released footage Tuesday that showed the moment when Tom and Linda Cook’s Ford Edge was struck by the wooden utility pole with live wires. Police responded to the emergency call Friday at around 3:50 p.m. that the vehicle was struck by a powerline. First responders had to wait about an hour to pull the Cooks from the SUV because they had to wait for the power to be turned off. Those poles had last been inspected in 2016 and none were identified as “posing a public safety hazard” at the time.
