A four-door sedan performed a high-wire act just before 6 p.m. in Vernon on Friday evening, March 15.

The car entered a boulevard on 48th Avenue and 23rd Street by the ICBC Claims Centre and became lodged on a power pole wire, resting at a 45-degree angle.

“Crazy huh?” a witness told The Morning Star.

Vernon North Okanagan RCMP say the driver was westbound on 48th Avenue and turned in front of an eastbound vehicle.
