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." '

Tamworth Morrisons crash drama as car smashes into wall
It must be the day for cars and supermarkets

Drink-driver starts the weekend early by crashing into tree at 4pm on Friday afternoon in Market Drayton.

Perhaps he was trying to emulate the driver of a black Wankpanzer that flipped near Much Wenlock around 6pm on Thursday.

This was just 2 hours after a black Mazda soft-top sports car (i.e. a hairdresser's car) hit a bridge a short distance away on the same road.
https://www.shropshirestar.com/news/local-hubs/south-shropshire/2023/03/...
Street view of the scene of the Mazda crash - 30 mph, straight through a crossroads. Maybe the driver had swerved to avoid something (or perhaps I'm giving them too much credit).

"He was going in reverse so his speed was -80mph, a full 100mph below the speed limit."

4,000 - 4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire was the answer we were looking for. So it's a rollover for our two tickets to the Diddley Squat farm shop/ not at all a theme park.
Visitors have the choice from our collection of farm experiences of receiving a death threat or being punched by the man himself.
I hope the driver is okay - did they find them in a korma?
Shocking - no mention of whether the hotel had daytime lights on.
imagine my disappointment when I read "Drivers 'over the moon' with Bridgnorth Cliff Railway repair work finally set to start" I thought for one moment that motorists were for once happy about something

Why would reducing parking lessen the chances of a drink/drug driver being able to destroy a home?
Surely the parking of vehicles will act as a buffer to crashing and also act to slow some drivists.
You can't have a speed of -80mph, it would be a velocity of -80mph
All sounds mighty fishey, huh?
