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.

Southampton drink-driver hid in bushes after fleeing scene of crash
pretty sure we'd have had the original story of this, which happened last November
"Mitigating, Stephen Tricker said Tudorache left the scene with good reason.
He said: “He was surrounded by a number of people and he was concerned for his safety.
“He returned to his home address, which is only a few yards away, and he was not difficult to trace as the car is registered to him."

"The railway bridge should have had better situational awareness and been wearing hi-viz"
https://twitter.com/NetworkRailSCOT/status/1660265603838492678
This is what we're dealing with right now. No trains can run between Glasgow Central & Paisley Gilmour St in either direction until our engineers have checked that the bridge is safe to reopen. They can only do this once the bus has been removed.
