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 may remember some months

You may remember some months back a motorist buried their vehicle in a block of flats in Paisley. Not to be outdone the local bus company has now buried one of their vehicles in the exact same block.

Central Peoria medical

Central Peoria medical building struck by a car; no one injured

PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — Peoria police and fire are at the scene of an incident in Central Peoria where a car apparently struck a medical building.

The collision occurred Tuesday afternoon in the 5000 block of Glen Park Place which is a dead-end street with several medical buildings including an OSF PromptCare. The building that was struck housed a rehabilitation practice.

Semone Roth of the Peoria Police Department said an older woman stepped on the gas pedal instead of her car’s brake pedal, sending the vehicle into the building. She was not injured, Roth said.

The building, Roth said, suffered minor damage. No one was injured.

———–

Approximate location. Not sure what business it was, but it’s mostly parking lots in this utterly car-dependent cul-de-sac of mostly medical facilities. I’ve probably been on this road three times in 25 years.

It’s about 1.3 miles from my house, but the shortest possible bike ride, drive, or even walk is 2.7 miles.

Fortunately, those walls were specifically designed to shrug off people crashing cars into them.

You’ll have to wait for it to

You’ll have to wait for it to come to court.  I expect his lawyer will ask him to describe all how he woke up, where and at what stage did he notice they were missing.  Perhaps a burglar took them? 

EDIT:  I thank you, I thank you and I thank you.

I suspect that in this case the police may be taking more interest…

Although perhaps it’s what the late Duke would have wanted?

He sounds like he was somewhat confused – I imagine him shouting “house!” immediately prior to the crash.

During his police interview he said he met someone on a dating app and went out for a drink with them but woke up in their house with no underpants on. Haynes said he could not remember what had happened and “panicked” before taking his date’s car and attempting to drive home despite being intoxicated.
