Well done them, to be honest a smokey smell in a bar has something a bit nostalgic about since that silly EU law banning fags.

Crikey. Looking at this guys history it certainly seems out of character if it was deliberate........He must have been in a desperately miserable place to resort to this. Thank goodness no one was hurt.

As is so often the case with eye-witness accounts of traffic accidents, 70mph would seem to be more like 15-20mph!

Don't forget that the car is a Volvo ;)
I agree that there is far to much of the car sticking out for it to be 70mph. Any thoughts on the reason why he would do something like that? I do feel sorry for both the club and the residents of the flat.

So in one report he is rescued from the vehicle without serious injury and in the other he gets out and starts the fire.

I smell a rat, or some dodgy journalism at the least.
Successfully confusing ambition with ability since 1980.
