Fortunately no one injured, but theres actually a youtube live ferry cam linked from the Daily Echo you could watch (theyll hit YouTube 12hr limit on streams and lose it probably) somehow the truck turned and the rear of the container just side swipes the building,which collapses.
But why are there so many trucks going to the Isle of Wight ? it hadnt struck me as the kind of place that can cope with vehicles that size

Alternatively with the second one, might have been going straight and suddenly swerved to avoid a car that had pulled out. Although if that was the case, I'm sure it might have been mentioned.
I do wonder how many of these drivers crashing into buildings etc actually get investigated and charged for their driving at the time. Of course the drunk/ drugs etc ones do, but surely driving in a way that hits a building when nothing mechanically is wrong is really screaming careless.
Bollard gave its life to protect others
That's awful! Poor bloke.
All in the car going on the sentence.
"One witness who lives on the road told LBC they saw a neighbour run out to try to help the people in the car."
Makes you wonder how we fitted into them years ago

No MoT = no insurance and no Car Tax, should have been recovered & destroyed surely.
16 May is the feast day for Saint John of Nepomuk - partron saint of bridges.
More motorised mess for the emergency services to clear up. Addenbrooks had a triage tent running around this time and we all know how stretched the ambulance services are.
still, [insert picture of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka] let's talk all about road tax, etc for cyclists.
"The driver was one of 7 suspected drink drivers arrested this weekend."
When people can't be named for legal reasons, usually it means they will be back in court on other charges and naming them might prejudice the trial.
A living hell for the adults, a dream come true for the kiddies.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We were called at 8.10pm to reports of a road traffic collision involving a car that had collided with a building on Princess Drive, Bridgnorth. One ambulance and a paramedic officer attended the scene.
Begs the question is it a ROAD traffic collision when it is in the front room of a bungalow.
Also
A woman, who was in the building was also assessed at the scene, she was discharged on scene with self care advice.
"Get some warm clothes on as it is going to be a cold night. "
UPDATE: two injured; arrest made

Two people have been injured after a car crashed into a Co-operative Funeral-care building in Ramsgate. One...was taken to hospital via air ambulance...
A man from Ramsgate has since been arrested on suspicion of causing injury by dangerous driving and remains in custody.

Indeed, car crashes into library, and nobody brought to book!
Won't happen again - that wall's going to be built like a brick outhouse after 3 reps at 1-2 tonnes.
"Which one's reverse, again?"
Skitchin it isn't.
It's painted white and it marks the corner of the pavement.
Drive on the road, don't cut the corner then there is absolutely no problem.
We know what happened there. They decided that if someone can park a bike on the roads and take up a precious car space, they would park where the bike should be kept.
Apparently, it's being described as a collision between a lorry and a car towing a caravan. It's creating a bit of a tailback.

War on the hard-pressed, hard-working, motorist, innit...
just one of nine bridge hits yesterday, and those were only the reported ones.
and theres already been a tipper truck in Wales today hit a bridge

Indeed as is demolishing street furniture, mounted on the pavement. only luck it was a lamp post and not a person.
this one looks like they thought they were at a drive thru https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/crime/man-arrested-after-crash-near-sudbury-...
Maybe they got a fine?
Excellent placement of the bollards to protect the valuable building in the place it got hit last time, but not the rest of it, and let's not worry about anyone using the pavement.
This fluorescent yellow illuminated retroreflective bollard should have made itself more visible.
Two totally different events from the stories / pics available.
And it is just me but does the driver who got out look like they might have driven down the "closed off" lanes. Then is trying to work out how to get around the emergency vehicles so they are not held up.
