We don't have a lot of details on this one, but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

OPP tweeted out this photo of an accident on Friday. The rental vehicle struck a utility pole on Hwy 17 just south of Wawa.

The driver was lucky to survive as part of the pole crashed just right of the driver's seat.
