How do you "hit" a ditch??? You either slide, fall, or fly into them, depending on your speed and level of stupidity.
Things you "hit"??? Other cars, telephone poles, houses, armadillos, hookers, college students, and the occasional baby seal... You know, things at ground-level or thereabouts.
In reply to grafmiata:
You make me LOL. 
The only thing I can figure is the ad is from Australia, which is the only place on Earth where ditches are above-ground...

Stand back folks! He's on a roll!!
Maybe he was out trying to knock down mailboxes and misjudged hitting it, as it WAS down IN an ditch. Selective memory is a bitch at times. Selective hearing is golden.
Seriously? I thought "hit the ditch" was the universally accepted term. I offer this entry from the authoritative reference "Urban Dictionary:" http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hit%20the%20ditch
Meanwhile in South Africa...

he must have hit something if the frame is bent- and that can happen in ditches.
i know of a 77 LTD 2 door that got bent into a "V" shape when one of my cousins got bored and decided to hit the ditch one night back in 1993.. actually, he "hit" a drainage culvert at about 70mph, but it was a part of the ditch..
