A very serious and potentially fatal crash, seemingly because the car smashed through the wall of the building.

Hm, not sure Fox would consider this a building or a structure, but photography thread devotees will probably be interested:

"Moment Thames ferry crashes into pier"
It appears to narrowly miss the pier and to crash only into the pilings? Or was the pier scraped?

It would not, on the face of it, appear to be a winning strategy to use Oxford Street as part of your getaway route:
Fortunately only minor injuries.

Driver was clearly going there for a lesson

'Learn to dive', priceless.
Again seemingly no serious injuries in this type of crash.

Just came here to post that.

A crash involving a bridge that is clearly more than a structure:

I didn't post that as it involves a structure rather than a building.

I agree with you, which is why I said I was channelling Fox. :)

How about buildings crashing into cars?

+1 points for building being a shop that sells hi-viz clothes.

Police say it's a dangerous spot. Clearly that building should have been wearing a helmet.

It does bring to mind Adam Yates and the inflatable.
I think that the reason why the focus is so much on the outcome, that the bridge collapsed, and not on the possible driver error or mechanical failure of the lorry, is because it is probably not yet known what it was. Until such time, reporters inevitably have to concentrate on what's marginally more obvious. That, and obviously also that people always get very upset when a major road is blocked for whatever reason.
Very glad there seems to have been very little injury. Far more serious motorway incidents in which many people die seem to get less news coverage than this.
