USA - A bizarre video shows a driver scrambling to halt his runaway bakkie from crashing into a telephone pole... 

Unfortunately he fails to do so. 

TJ Lawrence uploaded a video recorded on his dash-cam and included the caption: "A guy's truck snuck across the road and crashed into a telephone pole. Forgot to put it in park." 

So close... yet so far

Key takeaway from this video... always place your vehicle in park or pull up your handbrake.
