PH Sherlocks - give me your theories

A puzzle for you - how did this van crash into the side of our office today?

• It was parked on the other side of a completely flat access road.
• There was no one in the van and no other vehicles involved when it hit. (The arrow shows the approximate trajectory of the van)
• The van hit the building hard enough to shake it.
• The engine was not running and the van had been parked up for at least 20 minutes.

Spoiler below photos...





The handbrake was left off and the wind was so strong it pushed the van across the road. Thankfully it didn't head straight forward onto the main road. Cool story bro etc but amazed by the power of the wind in surburban Southampton!

Handbrake wasn't on so half right but no physical impact - see spoiler in first post for the reason it "drove" off!
