The car hit something before the pole (stopped suddenly in someway), and linda who was in one of the front seats went flying through the window and hit the somewhat weak pole, causing it to break.

the light was broken and so Linda couldn't see anything while driving. So she drove the car into the slippery puddle and lost control and somehow (even though this is physically extremely hard to do unless she was speeding like crazy, in which case if she was on a dark night like this maybe she should get a darwin award) flipped the car over. and died.
Or she was ambushed in the dark by some robbers. Who ended up killing her

it might have been easier to slip on that puddle if it were once ice. By the time the narrator got there, it melted.

The car didn't hit the pole, but the pole did hit the car.

When the light poll still had an electric current running through it, Linda touched a metal part of her car while driving through a puddle, thus getting electrocuted.

I think iono meant that Linda didn't touch the pole... her car touched the puddle that was carrying the current from the pole
And somehow the current carried back to Lina.
Or she stepped out onto an electrocuted puddle

Well the thing about this riddle is that she probably could have been killed in any way (ex: a heart attack) and conveniently endedu p near a pole with a broken light, where robbers broke in her car to steal her radio.
But that's no fun
So, Linda loves to collect lightbulbs. So she see's this extremely pretty lightbulb in the middle of nowhere with noone around, so she tries to climb up the pole to get it, Unfortunately for Linda, it was just raining, so the pole got pretty slippery near the top, so she slipped while trying to grab the lightbulb, grabbed it, broke it while falling, and landed on her car, breaking the windows

You can only believe i what you can prove, and since you have nothing proven to cmpare to, you can believe in nothing.
I have ~50 posts to hack a "R" into a "D". Which one?

Or the lightning travelled through the broken water and struck Lisa 
But no one would create a riddle with such a dirty way to die.
hmm?
