Car Crashes Through Bakery Window, Narrowly Missing Two Customers

Police ordering a blood sample highlights an active investigation into why the vehicle drove into the shop and what that may mean for storefront safety.

Overview

  • A 77-year-old driver lost control while exiting a supermarket parking area and drove her car through the bakery’s shop window, stopping in the café seating area.
  • Two women sitting at a table escaped with only about 20 centimeters between them and the car and were left uninjured but in considerable shock.
  • Bystanders attended to the driver at the scene and local police responded to secure the site and speak with witnesses.
  • Police have ordered a blood sample from the driver as part of routine checks and said the precise cause of the crash remains under investigation.
