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.

Iain Duncan Smith would blame the cyclist on the left outrageously obeying the Highway Code and even cycling with lights.

Managed to average 52 mph over the past 6 days straight on my fave segment but a measley 47 today. My coach says I'm over-training.
