This just popped up on my Facebook. Think it happened near Doncaster maybe?
Looks like a Royal blue touring and it's smashed into a police station car park!

I do not see any skid marks on the road. They must have lost control whilst in the car park doing 5mph. Great driving

No oil, very little debris, no marks on the curb, damage seems funky for the position of the vehicles, cones and tape and a camera or two on a tripod? Could it be a mock accident for training purposes?

If you look at google maps, it's quite a distance from the level crossing to the police station. Quite impressive.

All the talk of incompetence reminded me of a pic I took early on Saturday morning -

Dead straight road, 40mph limit, no skid marks, partly wrapped up with police ribbons :D
