It was not Will's fault he drove straight into the pole. It was the squirrel's. Well, true Will had left his sunroof open, but it was the squirrel that entered the car. When Will began driving he didn't realize that the squirrel was in the car. He got about a mile out of town before the squirrel attacked him, making him veer left into the pole. It was just his luck that a cop was sitting there.
