Depends on the speed you are traveling, what kind of car you are in, where on the car you hit, what the telephone pole is made out of and how well it was anchored. If you hit a wooden, leaning telephone pole in a large SUV head-on at 50mph, you will probably be okay (but with injuries, total your car and tip the pole, leaving live wires lying all over the place, which is bad). However, if you crash into a metal telephone pole in a small sedan head on traveling 50 miles an hour, you could sustain serious injuries and die. Always wear your seatbelt.
If you hit anywhere on the side, from skidding perhaps, traveling at any appreciable velocity, you had better hope that it's the passenger side and that you don't have a passenger, because it could very likely crush and kill them. If you hit it fast enough, as demonstrated in a picture I saw once of an Audi R8, if you hit the pole sideways fast enough, it will tear your car in half.
you may in fact die
