Default Bizaar Crash In Knoxville

I just worked a crash on Sherrill blvd. in Kville. Driver #1 looses control and hits a utility pole and is trapped in her vehicle. The impact breaks the pole in two. The pole is only there to hold a guy wire that supports the utility poles on the other side of the street. (guy wire runs from the top of one pole, over the roadway, onto the pole that was struck and then is anchored in the ground.)
The guy wire falls across the road. Two good samaritans stop to help the trapped female. Another SUV does not see the guy wire laying in the road and runs over it. The guy wire gets caught in the rear tire of the SUV and because the end is still anchored in the ground, it gets pulled taught by the SUV. The SUV is flipped upside down in the middle of the road and the two good samaritans are struck by the guy wire.
Samaritan #1 GETS HIS LEG AMPUTATED AT THE KNEE!!! samaritan #2 is flung into the air, lands on his head and is in critical condition with bleeding on his brain!!!
Just when you thought you've seen everything.
