Was there a building involved?

3 or 4 buildings probably witnessed it.

They all had different stories.

In our occasional series on intentional crashes into buildings, the crashing seems to have gone according to plan, but the aftermath didn't go too well ... including attempted murder or something, but not charged for that:

Police were called at 2.40am on September 10 last year as ram raiders used a Land Rover Defender to smash their way into a Co-op store and drag out the cash machine.

Well, that's not a building, just a wall.

Here or Taxi thread? (Probably here because not London's famous London)

That's impressive. You can't see it from the video but the only way to do that is after you've turned on to the forecourt

That could so easily have ended very badly if someone had been standing in that aisle ...

Oh shit.

oops!

For some reason, this article doesn't say where it was. It's in Lordship Road, N16, and the house is just next to the Red Lion in Church Street.

It looks as if she took the turn from Church Street too fast and ended up crashing into the house.

The driver, Nicola Chase, is a prize cunt.

Oh, you never know, she might be OK when she's not drunk.

and not driving

could the lady who owns the house not take legal proceedings against the driver for the damages?

I hope so.

She should have been able to just claim off the driver's car insurer. Not sure why that hasn't happened, the criminal case against the driver is unrelated to the victim, it's the CPS vs the driver not the pensioner vs the driver.

claim off the driver's car insurer

Pretty sure the drink bit invalidates any insurance and means the claim must be made against the individual.

Paying for call-out fees and the like sounds suspicious though?
