Witnessed quite a scary incident earlier today in Lunenburg Nova Scotia today, as a driver lost control of his vehicle going down a hill, went airborne, and smashed multiple metal fences and light poles before crashing into a parking lot 20 feet below. No fatalities luckily. <a href=”https://t.co/MtZXmxky5A”>pic.twitter.com/MtZXmxky5A</a>
