Car crashes into building - please post your Local news stories

But the unfortunate illuminated retro reflective bollard before the lamppost was wearing hiviz...

Lol, I included a pic as I know not all have a twitter account.

Sadly true. I've walked, ridden & driven along rural roads all my life. So many drivers assume that because a road isn't busy then nobody is likely to be coming the other way (or that whoever/whatever will somehow find room to pull in to let them through).

No number plate, though, so how could the driver avoid it?!

That's bloody awful, can't imagine what the family's going through.

Or, if they're drivers of massive tractors, they just don't care- these things would crush a big Transit, so they don't even think about cyclists. They can always use the apparently impregnable defence: I didn't know I had hit him because I didn't see him

Just prove common sense

Can't be purchased with riches.

I know where that is, I think.

It's one of those villages that has a road which is a lot busier than it ought to be running through the middle, and there's a section where the houses go right up to the carriageway (no room for a footway or even something like a hard shoulder).

140 New Waltham homes left without internet for over a week after car crashes into box

And now self driving cars are taking out our communications!

I think that need more hiviz.

Ah - we can't have pedestrians or cyclists - our ancient street (now road) is too narrow.  Handily though they had the foresight to make it just wide enough for two motor vehicles...

But unlike a cyclist, they didn't actually go through a red light.

They clearly had brake failure and did the law abiding thing to make sure they complied with the lights - surely there can be no other explanation?

Plenty of room for a shared footpath alongside a prioritised section of road - that's 5 metres wide.

And they could lose 1m off the thickness of that hedge, too.
