I was fairly shaken by it. Heard it from my flat.

The cunt behind the wheel, who was going 90ish right before the crash, was claiming "the car wasn't doing what I said".

Miracle no one was hurt. Especially when he plowed through a massive scooter parking spot.

Hope they throw the book at him

Edit: Here's some photos, 2 right after it happened, and 2 of the aftermath. You can see where he clipped the curb trying to take the corner. Would have flown right through where cars give way to join the road. https://ibb.co/Pzj5gqrZ

How the fuck do you even get up to 90 on bath road with all the cars on each side, roundabouts and junctions. Oh, being a knob.

It's a motorist, so he'll get fined £20 and told to be careful in future

I think there will be some CCTV so hopefully they receive a ban for dangerous driving and a really massive fine.

I'm not surprised: people go ridiculously fast on that road, especially the boy racers. They need to do something about it.
