AN OUT OF CONTROL car reversed into a shop at speed causing considerable damage.
Not only to the contents but to the structure of the building.
At speed
The car, driven by a man, careered backwards knocking over a a foot wide post solidly set in tarmac then continued into the shop at speed.
We understand that when the police arrived and saw the destruction, they took away the man's licence to drive.
'Luckily' should anyone have been in the way of the out of control car they would have received serious injury, such was its speed, told Mary, who provided the image.
Boarded-up
The front of the shop was quickly boarded-up by the staff at Mercia, to protect its contents and keep people out until the structure could be deemed safe.
The adjoining outlets are still in business.
