Dopey driver tries to flee after crashing into traffic light with two wheels in the air

A motorist found himself in a bizarre situation when he attempted to drive away from a crash, even though two of his car’s wheels were suspended in the air.

The man, who was driving a silver hatchback, had collided with a traffic light, leaving the vehicle in a precarious position.

The impact of the crash caused the two tires on the driver’s side to lift off the ground. One front wheel ended up perched on the base of the traffic light, while the rear wheel dangled above the street.
