Car crashes into building - please post your Local news stories

I'm puzzled by this one - could it be the start of self-driving cars targetting motorbikes?

https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/police-called-whiteladies-road-crash-7141840

The incident involved three cars and two motorbikes, according to Avon and Somerset Police.

Police say one of the motorbikes is believed to have been parked at the time.

I know that this one doesn't quite fit with the title of the thread but it's too strange to not share

By the way, the photo doesn't do it justice, the video is quite something

Shocking moment Ferrari SF90 hypercar worth £500,000 smashes into three parked cars

The ... clip shows the supercar suddenly appear before propelling directly into a white vehicle parked up on the street.

And it showed no sign of slowing down after the initial impact, but instead created a domino effect of destruction.

The car, worth half a million pounds, then careered into two other vehicles - causing quite a costly amount of damage.

The dazed driver can be seen crawling out of the shiny red hypercar after the high speed smash, before cops and fire crews rushed to the scene at 7.40pm.

Final passing mention of a driver getting out.  All agency appears to be ascribed to the car itself...

Old driver so possibly confusion / reaction time.  Of course normally cycling is the main risk to pedestrians...

(That dog wants to pee on the car to claim it)

A man has been arrested after a car crashed into a number of shopfronts on Whiteladies Road today (May 30). One witness said a car had driven into several shops along the road, taking out the stall outside of Better Food Co.

He also claimed that others in the area had tried to get the driver out of his car when he hit the A-Plan Insurance shop front but the man drove off once more. He also said that, shortly after, the driver crashed into the front of AMD Solicitors.

Man ploughed into pedestrian and drove along with her still attached to car bonnet

A building appears to be about the only thing that he didn't crash into.

He was given a four year sentence because after running a red light, injuring two pedestrians (one being carried down the road on the bonnet), crashing into a taxi (injuring three occupants, including one being stuck in the vehicle for two hours), causing a high speed police chase and trying to then escape on foot......

Quote:

At least five people were injured when a New York City taxi cab jumped a curb and ran over a group of pedestrians walking through Midtown Manhattan on Monday afternoon.

The yellow taxi reportedly collided with an SUV while traveling southbound on Broadway when it drove over the curb. The car plowed over at least five people before it hit the side of a building, according to ABC7.

(four paragraphs later, the first mention of)

The cab driver, who stayed at the scene as authorities arrived, also had non life-threatening injuries from the collision.

Apparently it happens about 100 times a day in the USA.
