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." '

You are aware of the excellent "Audis in houses"?
Seems to be updated regularly.
Not as many new posts from AsEasyasRidingaBike, shame.
Had not seen Audis in houses before but it is truly excellent as you say. I don't know where to start with questions or comments on some of those pictures. My head hurts!!!!
Rover gone over?

I can't post any specific local news items, but I certainly see a fair few car-sized holes in dry stone walls when I'm out cycling in the Peak District.
