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." '

Mr Sexty did reply to an email, but it still seems like a mess to me.
No excuse but it was incredibly foggy over the Forest last night, I couldn't drive safely much over 20mph. Looking at the damage to the Disco he must have been doing more than 40. Bet he's local too.
Out on the knocker, as I think saying has it. A doorstep delivery for sure!
Police are maintaining a low key presence in the area.
I'm sure the police have got a handle on it. I wonder if the driver will find himself in the slammer?
I'm surprised they spoke to the driver, rather than just issuing a letter.
Nah, a decent lawyer will be able to argue that he was framed.
Another car with agency, according to the report.
Did you manage to catch the squirrel story HP?

A good candidate for what happened next.
That looks rather a fast car for an 18 year old to drive.
There are lots of deleted comments, some proper nastiness below the line in Bolton.
But this one was a beauty-
No description of the driver as he had a Baklava covering his face
Hardly impressive, even the austin metro could do 62mph. Performance cars all just so pointless, just about every car on the road is limited by driver consience (sadly) not car performance.
Shocking.
Very rare to have the idiot fiming their own stupidity.

McLaren driver aquaplanes and crashes on A31 in Hampshire
https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/18973752.car-aquaplanes-crashes-tree-a3...
Here's the full picture from the Echo website - what on Earth is all that gunge on the windscreen, where's it from? The ponies were in the road hoovering up the salt, so is it from the collision?
"Hampshire county councillor David Harrison, a member of the National Park Authority, listed several measures that have already been implemented in a bid to reduce the number of animal accidents in the district.
He added: “I think if there was an easy answer to stopping incidents like this, steps would have already been taken.” - average speed cameras, Cllr Harrison?"
To be fair, they were just trying to get to car park 9 3/4.
The car can't be a pretty sight!
Nope - I didnt' see that. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm surprised that it's illegal to release grey squirrels in Bristol at least - there's loads in the parks around me.
I did come across glowing squirrels the other day: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/01/flying-squirrels-fluorescent-secretly-glow-pink/
..not to mention traffic.
Why bother with your £25000 -sorry- £450/month for 36 months "performance" car, unless you live in a car advert.
Blood and guts
a regular, you might say.

car drivers - "it's not our fault, they should be wearing high viz"
I hope so
It's not about "speeding", though we know how often speed limits are actually observed, but going too fast for the conditions and to be able to stop in time when seeing an obstruction, in this case 4 ponies.
Nom, nom, nom
an airliner - we used to have those didn't we
I suppose there is some truth in that. Drivers may slow down if they see something unexpected ahead. But as my photo a few posts earlier shows, you get some who don't slow despite the road markings and chevron signage.
Mind how you go, Sir

I don't think it would have been published if it was. They always warn "distressing images".
