Hitting a utility pole seems to fall in the realm of pilot control or
some such. Need more information before I can pontificate or second
guess.

The CBS video in the link posted by Jay is a bit more clear. Watching
that one, I noticed that when the aircraft banked to the right (to avoid
the traffic?), it appeared to catch the utility wire under its right
wing. The tangled wire then seemed to lead the aircraft right into the
pole.
