1. overspeed turn in
2. tire provide no grip, understeer
3. try to compensate understeer with more steering input
4. realize still going too fast and heading toward the concrete barriers
5. panic and hit brake
6. chassis balance shift, rear tires loose traction
7. oversteer and point to the ditch side
8. dive toward the pole
9. impact with the pole, car swing a 180 by the force of impact
10. slide backward into the ditch and stop

Again, this is what I think could have happened with my experience in autoX. Nothing to do with the real situation.
Even simple: lift-throttle oversteer.

1)Probably going too fast for the corner. 2)Got scared.
3)Lifted off throttle (whilst going at high speed).
4)Over-steer!
