 A car was suspended from a telephone guy wire Wednesday evening in Mendon, after the driver reacted too quickly to a GPS unit's instructions to turn around. 
 
 Police say a too-quick reaction to a GPS system's directions sent a Toyota Corolla driven by Nabila Altahan up the wire support of a telephone pole in Mendon across from Sugar & Spice Restaurant on Wednesday evening around 8 p.m. 
 
 Altahan and her passenger were not injured in the incident, State Police said in a release. 
 
 Police said that the car left the lane of traffice while westbound on Route 4 in Mendon, when a GPS device gave sudden directions to turn around, because the car had passed its intended destination. Altahan reacted quickly to the directions, left the road and the car ended up suspended on the guy wire. 
 
 A witness at the minature golf course said she saw the driver jump out of the car as it was suspended from the pole. State police responded, as did Rutland City Fire Department, according to Ray Ault, who happened to be driving past the scene around the timing of the accident. 
 

– Police in Vermont say a car ended up almost vertical when the driver swerved quickly in response to her GPS ordering her to "turn around." The car was suspended almost vertically on guide wires attached to a utility pole (see a photo here) in Mendon on Wednesday night, reports the AP. Police say 30-year-old Nabila Altahan of Dorchester, Mass., was headed west on US Route 4 when she passed her intended destination and reacted quickly to the instructions, leaving the road at a significant enough speed to propel the vehicle up the wires. She wasn't injured. (This driver followed her GPS into a lake.)
