what if any business is located via that road ?
The centre of Dobcross where the incident took place was one of the locations of the 1979 film Yanks starring Richard Gere and Vanessa Redgrave.
Here’s a few shots taken at the time…
The house he hit is behind the Lee Electric Seddon.

Oh for a time machine that could take me back to that time and I don’t mean the 1940’s. 
Excluding someone’s life. I think causing damage to a war memorial is up there with the worst things you could possibly cause damage too.

If that is the case then clearly approaching from where he did to turn left isn’t the way to get to it
A few years ago I did some work in the house with the white front door. Nice people, paid for me to have lunch in the pub over the road.
Anyhow, in the bathroom they have a proper red phone box as a shower cubicle, had to remove the roof to get it in there then rebuild around it. So, in that case, are you absolutely sure that the driver isn’t delivering something that requires the removal of the gable wall and is just going the extra mile?
I can only hazard a guess he was making for the A62 at Delph as there is no industry along that route that I know of.
Maybe its just the photos but it looks like it would fit up there if you actually went straight at it, I’m not quite sure how he’s hit the war memorial as you’d see the angle and know you weren’t going to make it, I can only assume it must be his first day/week on the job, you’d still need to be careful of the camber and I’d be making a few phonecalls before attempting to go up there but I’ve seen far worse places to get into.

Even if he was determined he was going to take the street he tried (but failed) to get up there’s so much space for him to take the street before then reverse round on his good side then go straight at it.
Given the level of stupidity I’m assuming he’s never seen the inside of a dcpc classroom. This invaluable certificate of professional competence [emoji23] would have prevented this, surely? Therefore, his employer is at fault for not checking his ‘qualifications’. [emoji57]
Totally agree with the stupidity observations but struggling to understand how a DCPC course would help? All the ones Ive been on have been clasroom based and pretty crap, I ve never seen an option for practical training.

Woosh…
It should be said although probably not relevant in this case, that badly parked cars and vans disappear like the morning mist as soon as there is an incident.
Think the phone call back to the office might have been interesting 
Someone mentioned Mike Sweeny which takes me back to good old Radio Piccadilly ( 261 ) whatever happened to Umberto and Phil Wood ( The Wood ,The Wireless, The World ) Just Asking

Yep it was very much of it’s time.How well I remember those tacky 261 stickers that seemed to occupy every available window in Manchester.Mike Shaft seemed to think of himself as the great soul/funk potentate,kind of the Craig Charles of his day 
and let’s not forget it was the station that foisted Chris Evans snd Gary Davies on us.Its crimes are vast.I’m amazed Mike Sweenies still knocking around,I well remember his early shows when travelling with my dad delivering foodstuffs around Lancashire,how he’d wince when the opening “Sweeney” intro rent the airwaves and we’d fight over his attempts to tune into the Jimmy young show for some strange reason I found the late Phil Sayers show quite engaging,strange how his voice was only recently the one you’d hear as the voiceover in the nations train stations.Very corporatey and characterless a voice you could ever imagine.

Those stickers were everywhere. I remember going up to the old station building in Piccadilly plaza to get them. There are probably still some around cemented onto bedroom windows.
My dad used to inflict Sarah Kennedy and the Jamieson’s on me when out with him as a kid

I don’t think he was being entirely serious tbh mate. 
Tiredness I’d guess , it’s bad enough trying
To sleep on a lay-by being rocked all over
The place with out fridge blasting away in
The background
It’s time they made sleeping in lorries
