    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.

    “It is reported that the vehicle was also in collision with a pedestrian, but they did not require medical treatment.” ‘

    To start off, they have (had!) a phone box?!
    Why was the lorry on the pavement, and reversing without any sort of vision?
    And why didn’t the phone box respond to the “GET OUT OF MY WAY” beeping??

    Phone box on Ludlow street

    Phone box on Ludlow street hit by reversing lorry at 7am on Wednesday morning.

    The leaning phone box of Ludlow was becoming an attraction but it is now fixed

    Not related to buildings, but the local rag reports that “The number of fines handed out to drivers in West Mercia for using their mobile phones at the wheel rose substantially” in 2022. West Mercia Police handed out 885 fixed penalty notices for driving while using a handheld device during the year. Imagine how many they would catch if they had enough officers available to go out on patrol!

    The Arby’s hit by the school

    The Arby’s hit by the school bus has been hit again on the other side.

     A vehicle crashed into Arby’s in North Peoria for the second time in just two weeks.

    Peoria Police said an elderly woman behind the wheel accidentally hit the gas when she should have hit the brakes. The car backed into the front door of Arby’s on Allen Road on Sunday afternoon, which has now been boarded up. No one was injured.

    An Arby’s employee said the fast food restaurant now has just one working door.

    This incident comes just 13 days after a Dunlap Middle School bus crashed into the back of the same restaurant by the the drive-thru, which has since been shut down.
