Police did not have to travel far when catching one drink driver who crashed his vehicle in the UK.

Luckily no-one was standing in the doorway when the man crashed, although the structure of the building was inspected following the incident to ensure that there was no risk of collapse.

    Lighting columns and other roadside structures such as overhead gantries play an essential role in road safety, by improving night time visibility or giving information to drivers. However old generation units themselves pose a potential hazard as they can be impacted by vehicles departing the roadway and potentially with fatal results in the event of a high speed crash. This is why newer passively safe columns have been developed, which are designed to collapse in a controlled fashion when impacted, reduci
