Default Yet another building damaged by cars.

It just keeps on happening doesn't it. Nowhere is safe from them. Of
course, it is impossible for a bicycle to do this much damage. I
wonder how much the police, firefighters and ambulance crews cost the
taxpayer for this callout?

"Two vehicles crash into Focus DIY store in Inverness

Two vehicles have crashed into a building at an Inverness retail park,
according to emergency services.

Police, firefighters and ambulance crews were alerted to the incident
at the Focus DIY store in the Inshes retail park in Inverness at 1147
BST.

A witness said three fire appliances along with two ambulances were at
the scene.

Northern Constabulary said there were no further details on the
incident available at this stage.

not required and stood down."

Well no it doesn't.

Nowhere is safe from them.


That's wrong as well.

Probably correct.

See recent thread.

Thay must have been searching for the cyclist.


Northern Constabulary said there were no further details on the
incident available at this stage.


Have you contacted them, and asked if the cyclist is OK?

So the charges would not be that high.

I trust that the cyclist who wasn't there didn't get hurt.

Buildings also crash into cars. Thousands of people die each year in
buildings. Buildings are dangerous.

When are we going to ban buildings?

Not nearly as much as for any of the many demonstrations you support,
hypocrite.

What's he going to do about lift failures and people falling
downstairs?

His vertical city doesn't sound any safer than any other sort.
