An electrical shock would cause the brakes to seize and make the car jolt to a stop?
I was on a jobsite once when a guy who I worked with punched through a gas main with a power post hole digger.
No fire but gave us all a huge scare. The gas line was 50 feet from where it was supposed to be and 2 feet less submerged.
It was a horrible jobsite. A couple days later, a plumber lit a couple condo’s on fire sweating pipe.
He may have driving slowly over the line thinking he could get past without a problem.
I have hit plenty of underground wires and gas lines due to incorrect marking. Hitting a gas line sure brings a lot of people in a hurry.
