Excellent picture!
This perfectly shows the impossibility of it.
Think of the pole landing like that after being hit by a 757 and the car was moving 40 mph!
But it never touches the ground or the hood of the car?
Why do you say it did not touch the ground? I think it's very likely the pole touched the ground. That would explain a number of things:
1) How the other end of the pole was forced to the back seat of the car
2) Why the car suddenly swerved
3) Why there is a scratch on the road
4) Why the hood is undamaged
5) How Mr. England and another man were able to move the other end of the pole without too much difficulty.
