The electric pole and the car were damaged

And understatement of the year (yes, yes, it’s early days yet) goes to...

Hilux. It was only a few years ago that Top Gear were dropping buildings on one in a futile attempt to kill it. Now, the Chinese outdo them by falling asleep. Certainly a better effort than some.
