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." '

Man flees after crashing into grade II listed Dorset home

On our quiet side road, a car crashed thrrough a 1.2m high and very thick stone wall, drove over the garden before badly denting the sold stone house. It was driven by opposite neighbour from his drive, so he was able to do that much damage by travelling across width of a not very wide road from being stationary. He would have killed any pedestrians, had they been walking along pavement.

A couple say they are fearing for their lives as a huge 4x4 car has been left "dangling" at the top of their back garden for several days. They fear the vehicle could career into their house at any moment. The Mitsubishi is perched with its rear wheels mid-air, held back only by a tree stump.

That Chesterfield one is close to home.
Apparently hooning down a redressed road, losing control, and causing life changing injuries to three people is "Careless"not "Dangerous". £750 compensation each.
Meaning, shitty Transport Minister Mark Harper does not give a damn.
I trust that Mr Brooke has voluntarily surrendered his driving licence until he can get to the bottom of his medical issues?
What were they thinking building a grade II listed building that close to a main road...
First of all, it's quite clear what happened here; the school came out of nowhere, the driver did all they could to avoid a collision but there was nothing that they could do to stop the classroom trying to consume their car.
Secondly, cars are too strong. We need to protect children and the only way that we can do that is to reinforce and fortify the schools. Also, the schools need crumple zones.
Thirdly, maybe all children need to be kept in zorbing balls all day, just in case. It's the only way to stop this happening again
She seemed a bit upset about a minor misjudgement that could have killed someone and is going to cause months of stress and inconvenience.
For real?
Yes, right after "it lost control."
They should never have been given planning permission for that
Zorbing balls - if it saves just one life
