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.

I don't think that's crossdressing. That looks like a hospital gown.
I read on that fountain of truth and accuracy Facebook that it was a McDonalds near an army base that started this. The story goes that soldiers weren't allowed out of their cars off base (on their way to/from home, presumably).
The plucky franchisee created a hole in the side and the rest is drivers happily queuing for 10 minutes, but losing their minds after 10 seconds behind cyclists.
perhaps it was a Mustang?
Looks like a taxi driver ( silver car ) is pulling into the taxi rank bedside the Spar resulting in the other swerving rather than stopping.
