As the car doors are missing in this picture, it looks as if they had to remove them to get her out?
I can't work out from this picture how it happened--did she hit the corner shown on the right first, with the car then spinning round to stop where it's shown?
It could be that the car's crash protection against crashing into a wall head-on didn't work so well in this case because she hit the corner at an angle.
Ominous news about her condition, let's hope she comes through.
-
I'd guess the car hit the wall on the left, where the car is now, and the damage on the right was caused by the front wall being pushed to the left.
Looks like "stair step" fracture in the brickwork going from the top right of the front wall to the top right of the window, then from the bottom left of the window diagonally down.

Well, that is located at the start of a slight bend in the street, but not really bendy enough yet that it's likely the driver misjudged the bend. He/she may have had to avoid something else.
-
Ah, thanks, that could be it. I didn't spot that. It may also point to it having been at fairly high speed.

Something something close shave...

Where's the sympathy for the poor wheely bin?

Top of my road in Muswell Hill just now.

Placement of that planter tbf looks daft. Its around 1.5 car lengths from a give way junction. Can imagine maby near misses as vehicles come in and out of that junction.
My favourite is when councils fit large aggressive speed bumps 0.5m behind the give way line. Going out the junction great it forces folk to slow down/look before they pull out into traffic in bottom of second gear.
But on the way into the junction it severely limits the opportunities for safely turning in, as you have to stop, 1st gear and crawl over the massive things (which then leaves half your car blocking the carriageway and impeding other traffic). -
That is just priceless. Poor guy. He doesn't quite manage to hit the building, but still ...
-
I thought he had managed to miss the car parked in the driveway as well but there’s a pretty decent dent in the back of it.
I imagine that the instant torque of an EV didn’t help. -
Bentayga strikes me as an odd moniker.

Maybe it's made from old Agas, with the metal just bent a little. They must have added the 'y' to make it less obvious.
-
Also, why didn't he just call the police? It's not as if their number isn't known.

Who wants to answer difficult questions about why you crashed into a stationary object at 5am?
To be fair it is extremely bad planning to:
a) have a gentle bend in the road - cars were made to go straight!
b) then put a building on the outside of that bend. Why not something soft like a giant mound of goose down?
-
Goose down is v expensive right now. Bit of a shortage unless you like it blood-stained and smelling of aviation fuel.
