Truck vs. pole....

Pole - 1
Truck - 0

This was the scene at the Woodstock Public Library this Sunday afternoon. How does something like this happen?

Of course, it's always possible that the steering broke or the brakes failed and that the driver drove into the pole on purpose to save other vehicles from damage or pedestrians from injury.

Or did books, just checked out, start to slide off the seat, distracting the driver? Or was she reaching to put on her seat belt? Or did the phone ring?

It was obviously a low-speed crash, but I'll bet there is $6,-10,000 worth of damage.
