Oh dear ,sexist and homophobic, stop digging matey 
I'm not sure how my comment makes me homophobic it was an observation....homophobes are anti gay, whereas I'm indifferent..But just for info.... My gay friends from Liverpool, often call each other silly cows, and have a sign on the kitchen door that says "Queens Room"

Unless the Google image is deceptive, your definition of "a fair way" is somewhat bizzare.
Perhaps someone leaving the filling station had dumped fuel all over the road?
I agree with Mr E..... The garage is between 2 roundabouts..... Which one was the corsa navigating when it lost control??Perhaps someone leaving the filling station had dumped fuel all over the road?

At the sort of speeds those rounabouts usually have, I can't see how you cross the island, a lane of traffic, the pavement and hit a car at the pumps. Obviously it's possible, but this seems to be a "blithering wilful idiot" rather than "an accident".The only thought I have is this.
Pink car exits the garage and reaches the left hand roundabout (you have to go that way, you cannot turn right). So traffic frequently goes round the roundabout to go back up kings hill.
Pink car over commits, loses control on the exit of the roundabout and thumps the island.
That impact breaks the front offside suspension, and drags the car across the lane of traffic approaching the roundabout and into the garage.
Not quite sure how fast you'd need to be going to manage that....
Does a DBS have a carbon chassis/bodywork?

I hadn't even considered the second roundabout (to the right in the Google map), which I would say is a fair way away. But the first roundabout is more-or-less right in front of the fliing station. I could well imagine various scenarios that would result in such an accident.

Indeed, but I know this roundabout very, very well indeed and am struggling to conceive of a way to do this without serious speed (and it's just not that sort of place) or a failure of some kind (other than the obvious driver failure).
Just too balance the joshing I am enjoying with Luna black I feel great sympathy with the owner of the DBS
he/she must be gutted.
One must also not jump to conclusions regarding the other driver . He / she might have needed to take evasive action.

Those astons must be worth feck all if a little prang like that can write one off !!!
I like the way the daily wail highlights on the fact its a 190mph sports care even though it was stationary.
I also dont know how anyone that works for the DM had the front to call themselves a journalist.... google operative would be a better term

I reckon the Corsa exited the garage and hoofed it around the roundabout full power and then exited going east, but well over cooked the exit lifted off and go lift off oversteer
or same start but washed wide on the exit, hit the kerb, bounced off, panicked, kept gas on and plowed into the station.
either way, pretty in pink overcooked it big time.

I was driving down kings hill and seen this just minutes after it happened, as others have said I can't work out how the hell someone could do this, one thing that did make me chuckle was the powered by fairy dust sticker on the back, powerful stuff that fairy dust! I can only assume hitting the fairy dust button launched the car with jet like thrust over the roundabout,path, kerb and grass verge into the poor DBS, only in Swindon...
