"Now another car has hit the same pole. That stretch is very dangerous and needs to be approached with caution. This time someone died. It makes me feel a little strange. If we'd not had that accident nobody would have died." Naemanson

Sounds to me like they need to make that stretch of road less dangerous. For all we know, the previous pole before it rotted also claimed fatalities. Looks to me like your experience made them take notice.
