The 2002 Saturn was traveling eastbound when it left the right side of the roadway and struck an antique iron fence, according to the report. It continued along the barrier, with intermittent contact for 48 feet before straddling a 45-degree guide wire attached to a utility pole.

The car's rear bumper was about eight feet above the ground.
