Car crashes into building - please post your Local news stories
Running this one up the flagpole to see who salutes...
I just don't remember this being a thing until recently, now it seems a daily occurrence.
Could it be that there are drivers not up to the job, too many cars; should houses be made to ride in single file, shops put on high viz, why are we putting newer buildings in danger like this, it's irresponsible.

'A Dorset Police spokesperson said: "Dorset Police was called at 12.48pm on Thursday, August 13, to a report of a collision involving a car and a wall outside Iceland on Poole Road in Bournemouth.
"It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment." '

Car flips and crashes into ditch on Devon road
Photos show the car flipped on its roof in a ditch on the side of the road
https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/live-car-flips-crashes-ditch-7...
A sparkling career in journalism just getting started:
A car crash near Muddiford left a car flipped onto it's roof. The crash was reported along the B3230 on Thursday afternoon.
Dramatic photos showed the car off to the side of the road, flipped onto its roof. The car also appears to have some police tape running through its front wheels.
Oh, great going drivers - no actual crash reported, but the ever-present fear of one; tell you what, let's further sub-urbanise this pretty spot with a load of bright white road markings.

Driver crashes into crime scene !
https://www.wiltshire999s.co.uk/police-escape-injury-driver-ploughs-scene/
A driver ploughed through a crime scene in Chippenham on Friday night – despite blue lights, police tape and cones clearly blocking the road.
The woman was asked to provide her details to officers, who will now report the incident to the DVLA. It’s thought the agency will investigate whether she is fit to continue holding a licence.

I wonder whether the autonomous Land Rover or the wall was more responsible for the crash? Probably 50-50

Dundee University classroom fails to wear hi-vis

A driver has been banned from driving lorries for six months as a result of getting his lorry stuck under a bridge carrying the Brighton Main Line through Coulsdon in Surrey.
Post was lit up but not wearing high-vis, etc. Plus what's it doing in the middle of the road?
Atrocious cyclist behaviour at 0:34.
The headline and first lines don't seem to tally with the actual medical statement further down the page. I wonder why they took the victim to Heartlands when Good Hope was less then a mile away.
But, was it a "It came out of nowhere!" or a SMIDSY?
A tweet lower down says that the bridge has been moved so don't see road or rail being opened soon.
What it should look like. Off road parking for one car.
Here's an article about the number of times that that bridge has hit hard-working, tax paying lorries. You would think that the bridge would have learned it's lesson by now but, no, it just keeps getting in the way of lorries!

Can't park there, mate.
Oh, great, now we can have a 5 page debate on whether a "one vehicle collision" is even a thing.
One wonders why paramedics attended when #nodriverinvolved?
Can't park there mate! Hang on - have you got your boat licence for that?
That looks like a pretty traumatic event and there have been deaths from people getting trapped in boats in locks. Going to be a costly fishing trip too.
How on earth? Surely, driving down steps onto a pavement is below the standard of a competent driver?
And not a shred of hi viz among them, I'll bet.
Here's the street view. I'd suggest parallel parking might have prevented this.

This is catching on.
Local councillor David Wilcox tweeted "This story fails to mention that an actual human being was driving this 3 ton steel bludgeon at the time."
