Car crashes into building - please post your Local news stories

Hmm, click-bait headline, much?
"Southampton man gets driving ban for stopping on Shirley High Street"

Looks like this one was ! Tesco lorry.

Fortunately no one injured, but theres actually a youtube live ferry cam linked from the Daily Echo you could watch (theyll hit YouTube 12hr limit on streams and lose it probably) somehow the truck turned and the rear of the container just side swipes the building,which collapses.

But why are there so many trucks going to the Isle of Wight ? it hadnt struck me as the kind of place that can cope with vehicles that size

Alternatively with the second one, might have been going straight and suddenly swerved to avoid a car that had pulled out. Although if that was the case, I'm sure it might have been mentioned. 

I do wonder how many of these drivers crashing into buildings etc actually get investigated and charged for their driving at the time. Of course the drunk/ drugs etc ones do, but surely driving in a way that hits a building when nothing mechanically is wrong is really screaming careless.

That's awful! Poor bloke.

All in the car going on the sentence.

Makes you wonder how we fitted into them years ago

Car 'obstructing' pavement in Fordingbridge had expired MOT

how bad does it have to get before anything is done?

Why do we have to cite vulnerable groups to appeal to any ounce of compassion or shame drivers like this might have?

I wonder what the fine was for?

No MoT = no insurance and no Car Tax, should have been recovered & destroyed surely.

When people can't be named for legal reasons, usually it means they will be back in court on other charges and naming them might prejudice the trial.

A living hell for the adults, a dream come true for the kiddies.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 8.10pm to reports of a road traffic collision involving a car that had collided with a building on Princess Drive, Bridgnorth. One ambulance and a paramedic officer attended the scene.

Begs the question is it a ROAD traffic collision when it is in the front room of a bungalow. 

Also

A woman, who was in the building was also assessed at the scene, she was discharged on scene with self care advice.
