Post was lit up but not wearing high-vis, etc. Plus what's it doing in the middle of the road?

Atrocious cyclist behaviour at 0:34.

The headline and first lines don't seem to tally with the actual medical statement further down the page. I wonder why they took the victim to Heartlands when Good Hope was less then a mile away.  

But, was it a "It came out of nowhere!" or a SMIDSY?

A tweet lower down says that the bridge has been moved so don't see road or rail being opened soon.

Here's an article about the number of times that that bridge has hit hard-working, tax paying lorries. You would think that the bridge would have learned it's lesson by now but, no, it just keeps getting in the way of lorries!

Oh, great, now we can have a 5 page debate on whether a "one vehicle collision" is even a thing.

One wonders why paramedics attended when #nodriverinvolved?

Can't park there mate!  Hang on - have you got your boat licence for that?

That looks like a pretty traumatic event and there have been deaths from people getting trapped in boats in locks.  Going to be a costly fishing trip too.

How on earth? Surely, driving down steps onto a pavement is below the standard of a competent driver?

Cars keep crashing into Sunbury shops as hairdresser says it 'was like a bomb' So what's causing cars to crash? Nah, it's not the drivers, it's the lack of bollards! https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/cars-keep-crashing-sunbury-... #NoDriverInvolved

Here's the street view. I'd suggest parallel parking might have prevented this.

Is that a phone in her left hand as it comes out of the window?

This is catching on.

Local councillor David Wilcox tweeted "This story fails to mention that an actual human being was driving this 3 ton steel bludgeon at the time."

#nodriverinvolved.

Isn't that the rear wheel?

That's a difficult one to understand - the streets round about are all narrow and many are restricted access through the campus.

And a bit close to home: my daughter has classes in that building. Perhaps fortunately, at this time of year most students are revising or doing coursework rather than lectures.

Highly trained professional driver...
