The driver followed the directions -- and turned straight into a light pole.
Luckily, no one was badly hurt in the crash, but the minivan -- which had Florida license plates -- was totaled in the crash.
The light pole also suffered damage.
Midland Police had to close a lane on Wall Street as they cleaned up the wreck.
