That sucks. Nevermind the damage but as stated above thank god there were no kids on the playground or anyone else around for that matter. I see this alot when I'm working in the la area and it's a wonder the 12kv padmounts didn't vaporize the car. Only thing I can say was on their side was the load was small at the time they hit the padmount transformers cause when they are tapped out on load the arcs are damn near impossible to break and most of the ones I've worked on were nothing more than a burn mark and a puddle of metal. Heck I even saw one launched a half a block when it blew up without a car even hitting it. It's never the drunk drivers that get hurt, but I would expect them to get hit with the somewhere around $10-15k bill for the padmounts and crews that came and fixed it. Not to mention the other legal fees and jailtime. Not worth it at all. Sorry to hear about that but no one got hurt and now you got brand new transformers and primary cable so turn it all on at once!
