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." '

Parents of girl, 15, killed in crash hit out at 'appalling' police investigation
Katelyn Dawson died after a BMW ploughed into a bus stop
Yesterday (April 11), following a seven-day inquest, senior coroner Martin Fleming concluded that it was 'more likely than not' that the BMW driver, Richard Brooke, had suffered a temporarily loss of consciousness due to fainting at the wheel. He said he had felt unwell and had 'tunnel vision' and could not remember what happened after that.
No criminal charges were brought against Mr Brooke following the incident. But Katelyn's parents Angela and Colin Dawson said the investigation after the crash was 'appalling' and that police had 'failed' their daughter.

Bury St Edmunds - Appeal after serious RTC
We had this as a news story at the time, and like the Oxford incident, if this isn't an open and shut case, I don't know what is. I do love how the police phrase things:
A Renault Captur car was in collision with the Premier Inn hotel, smashing the front doors and entering the building.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bury St Edmunds Roads and Armed Policing team, quoting reference: CAD 284 of 8 March.

On our quiet side road, a car crashed thrrough a 1.2m high and very thick stone wall, drove over the garden before badly denting the sold stone house. It was driven by opposite neighbour from his drive, so he was able to do that much damage by travelling across width of a not very wide road from being stationary. He would have killed any pedestrians, had they been walking along pavement.

"Range Rover coming a cropper in London W1 due to brave cycle stand, helped by lamppost which fell defending the footway."
A couple say they are fearing for their lives as a huge 4x4 car has been left "dangling" at the top of their back garden for several days. They fear the vehicle could career into their house at any moment. The Mitsubishi is perched with its rear wheels mid-air, held back only by a tree stump.

That Chesterfield one is close to home.
Apparently hooning down a redressed road, losing control, and causing life changing injuries to three people is "Careless"not "Dangerous". £750 compensation each.
Meaning, shitty Transport Minister Mark Harper does not give a damn.
I trust that Mr Brooke has voluntarily surrendered his driving licence until he can get to the bottom of his medical issues?
