Cars attacking houses

Continuing my occasional series.

Daily Mail, 7 February 2013:

... for the guests in one Cornish hotel, the only view they had for a while was the contents of this white van.

The driver had a lucky escape after he skidded off the road and landed vertically against the hotel. The van landed nose-down and wedged between the back of the White House Inn near Newquay, Cornwall and a grass bank... Police say nobody was hurt in the accident which happened as the driver swerved to avoid a car on the A3075.

Daily Mail, 8 February 2013:

Two people died after the stolen car they were travelling in smashed into a row of parked cars and exploded into a huge fireball.

The fire following the crash in a residential street in Salford last night was so intense it set five of the parked cars alight and houses in the area also had to be evacuated. The force of the blast caused debris to be scattered across nearby houses and sixteen terraced homes had to be searched by fire crews.
