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." '

Chico, California.
"Cleanup aisle 10"
EDIT : I paid a little Google car visit to this location and had a drive around the shopping area mentioned in the article. I've never been to America and I found a visit to the Council website interesting too, it's a trees and cycling city, apparently.
In the shopping area, basking in the California sun, it's so striking how medical care is sold as a commercial proposition; right next to the loud and proud tobacco store. There's a car garage with a car wash and two drive-in fitting bays. The car wash part was more nicely built than your typical UK example.
From the Council website, you notice the environmental issues that they live next to - there's a dam and the city of Paradise, up in the mountains, razed to the ground by fire and in the process of being rebuilt. Take the Google car up there and you get a mix of pre and post fire views.
The dramatic moment banned driver crashes into brick wall trying to escape police
He pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention, driving while disqualified, driving without insurance, failing to stop when requested to do so by police, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and fraudulently using false registration plates on August 27 last year.
This wouldn't happen if all drivers had to have a licence, insurance and numberplates

What a beaut!
A car went off the B4555 near Kidderminster, hit a tree and rolled part way down a steep bank near Highley, Kidderminster at around 8.15am on Thursday.
A truck driver following them stopped to help, securing the car to his vehicle with straps to prevent it slipping further down the steep bank above the river.

Car crashes into Rowley Regis bus stop
The fire service said: “[Green] watch attended an early morning RTC. Someone wasn't wearing a seatbelt so probably has a headache this morning. Unfortunately, they had left before we arrived. #wearyourseatbelt #morning #RTC #blackcountry”
And I bet that they weren't wearing a helmet or hi-vis!

Bristol traffic live: Emergency crews descend on busy shopping street after East Street smash
At 11:31 this morning, one crew from Bedminster fire station were called to reports of a vehicle colliding with a building.
On arrival, firefighters used small gear to make the vehicle safe and inspected the building for safety. The crew attended to one male casualty, who was handed over to Ambulance crews.

It's good to hear that there was no driver involved

What was the car involvement though?
Yeah, but see it from their point of view...
And there's also one in Liverpool
https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/walton-road-closed-w...
There ought to be some kind of annual mandatory mechanical check as well.
So you're saying that cars are actually sacrificing themselves to bring crimes to light? ("Police discover huge cannabis factory after car smashes into Cardiff house")
Hackney one though - clearly bloody cyclists again. You can see that a bike ripped out the bike rack it was attached to (taking out the wheel of the bike behind it) and tore straight through the shop window.
Where is that ?
Knoxbridge. Here's the cafe co-owner adding value to the whole thing: "The A229 is a dangerous road, it is notorious for accidents and fatalities. Due to it being very straight outside the cafe, motorists tend to gun it down the road."
One day, a loss adjuster is going to say, "well, we can't pay out for all of the damage here, you see it's a dangerous road, and if you look at sub-clause 15(d)(h)(viii) you'll see..."
How could the bus stop be hit? It appears to have hi-vis stripes
Lol at the second comment on that story.
No people involved whatsoever.
