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 would appear that motorists have been at this caper for a while.
I saw this in a list of awful sitcom tropes. Based on this thread, surely they should be in a lot more sitcoms though?

Dramatic scenes as car crashes into a building in Bradford. Despite the article mentioning two 'occupants' of the car running away from the scene, there is no mention of any role of any driver in this incident.
Last night this white Audi plunged into the wall of N13 Dental Clinic [👇🏻] Severe damage to property & items. Practice forced to close.
From the Telegraph,no less, no confirmation if the car was travelling at 52mph or made the road a death trap https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/22/cctv-bmw-flip-crash-property...
Driver needs to pony up for the repairs.
There's video of the crash available on BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-norfolk-69039378
Iain Duncan Smith would blame the cyclist on the left outrageously obeying the Highway Code and even cycling with lights.
Looks like that'll need a filling or two
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.
perhaps it was a Mustang?
Looks like a taxi driver ( silver car ) is pulling into the taxi rank bedside the Spar resulting in the other swerving rather than stopping.
Obviously LED lights and the driver was blinded by them.
And if you look carefully, they are indicating a right turn.
Why does the article say the car appeared to mount the pavement ? What do they think the car is doing, floating? Clearly it was also driving itself as the mention of a driver is completely absent again.
