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.” ‘

One person was taken to a hospital after a car crashed into a Bethlehem house Tuesday evening, emergency dispatchers said.

The 4:20 p.m. crash occurred at the two-story home in the 700 block of East Ninth Street, dispatchers said.

The couple who own the home initially asked for the public’s help in finding their dog, Kolby, who went missing after the crash, according to the couple’s Facebook post.

The dog later returned home on its own, the owner said.

Maybe that damage was already there from a previous “incident”?

I think there’s a few of us dupes around…
