A US police officer has been left red-faced after accidentally crashing his patrol car UP a utility pole.
The cop had been driving in Miami when he became distracted and somehow managed to drive onto a telephone wire.
This meant the vehicle rode on to the tension rod of this pole -- rather than the pole itself -- until it was at a 45-degree angle.
While he managed to escape the accident without physical injury, his pride was a little dented -- he had to wait for emergency workers to free him.
