Unusual New Iberia Traffic Accident Ends with Car on a Pole

A crash on Friday (Nov. 22) in New Iberia left a vehicle resting at an unusual angle—suspended partway up a pole on South Lewis Street near East Admiral Doyle Drive. The New Iberia Fire Department confirmed the incident and shared photos of the scene.

Details about the crash are still limited, and it is not yet known if there were any injuries. Emergency responders, including firefighters and police, were called to address the situation.

Kristie Faucheaux posted a photo of the scene on Facebook with the caption, “Only in New Iberia.”

The post quickly gained traction as many locals commented with both surprise and humor about the unusual sight.

Commenters had a variety of reactions:

- "How in the world?" wrote April Touchet, reflecting the thoughts that many of us had.

- Dustin Olivier humorously referred to the vehicle as a "pole dancer."

- Another commenter, Kathleen Thepbanthao, noticed something else about the image, "Buddy looks stressed on that curb," referring to a person visible in the photo.

While the situation has obviously sparked curiosity and lighthearted banter online, many are still left scratching their heads about how the car ended up on the pole. Officials have not yet provided additional details regarding the circumstances or any possible charges related to the crash.

It seems that everyone is okay based on the comments, and if a car on a pole is the worst outcome, then that might be the best case scenario in a scene that looks as wild as this.
