Summary
A shop assistant narrowly avoided being hit by a car which ploughed through the front of a corner shop.A shopper was nearly hit when a luxury silver Mercedes-Benz suddenly smashed through brickwork and a glass door at the convenience store. He managed to jump out of the way just in time as the automatic car ended up wedged by the counter of the Best-One supermarket in Bletchley, near Milton Keynes. A customer who had popped in to buy some milk 10 seconds earlier also escaped uninjured but was left trapped in a tiny corner of the store. The driver of the car, who is believed to have lost control as she tried to park opposite the shop, also walked away unscathed. Minutes earlier the shop had been crowded with customers. The accident happened last Friday morning at around 10.15am in the quiet parade of shops. The female driver was able to get out of the automatic car before fire crews arrived and made the area safe.
