Did he/she come back to fix it or you let it go?
 
Lucky that mail box was there to get their attention, if it wasn't there they were on a direct course to hit that telephone pole just a little further down the road. Hitting that would have totally ruined their day.
 
Nobody, let alone a kid driving what I assume is Daddy's car, is going to do that on purpose unless they have a passenger with a baseball bat. I'd bet a dollar that it was a fadeover while texting and the driver's seat needed a good steam cleaning after that happened. I watched nearly the same thing while visiting my parents a couple of weeks ago. I was standing in their driveway near the road and a neighbourhood girl drove by in a Fiat with a pink cellphone up high on the steering wheel. She faded off onto the shoulder and just missed the mailboxes but threw up a bunch of dust. She was about 20 km/h over the limit too.
 
^ I agree with Kawboy, Kid's typically don't hit mailboxes with with their parents car at that speed on purpose. Makes explaining the dents on the hood, fender or broken side mirror to mom and dad a bit problematic. That kid was definitely distracted by something and clipped the mailbox.
 
what a maroon! (as bugs-bunny was fond of saying) kid was probably texting...

"Kid's as smaat as a billiard bawl..."

(Loved that line from Bugs when I was growing up)

That's what I was thinking. Also a few more centimetres and he was in that culvert as well which could have had some interesting results.
