And, very sadly, and unusually for these crashes, there was a death in Mangere, New Zealand, when the car's teenage driver died. For obvious reasons, I'm not copying the picture across.

The vast majority of crashes in which motor vehicles hit buildings at worst seem to result in light injury to persons, with the lion's share of the damage absorbed by the structure. Motor vehicles don't generally seem to be strong enough/have enough momentum or mass to cause a building to collapse. I suppose we don't see many goods vehicles crashing into buildings, though.
