Terrifying moment car smashes through shop window – sending woman flying… but luckily no one is badly hurt

THIS is the terrifying moment that an out-of-control car smashed through a shop window and sent a woman flying.

In the video, a silver Toyota can be seen careering across the pavement and into the shopfront, where unsuspecting customers were sitting.

The hatchback barreled through the front of Kake Temptations in Batley, West Yorkshire and collided with a table, narrowly missing the man sitting at it, but flinging his female companion across the room.

The driver was able to stop the swerving vehicle before it blew through the deli counter, but tables and chairs were smashed under its wheels.

Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured in the horror smash, which reportedly took place at around 3.30pm yesterday.

The shop’s main window was destroyed by the impact and the car’s front bumper was ripped off and left lying in the middle of the shop.

Meanwhile, shards of glass were left strewn across the road.

Police, firefighters and ambulance crews all rushed to the scene, which was cordoned off.

One firefighter eventually reverses the car out of the shop as others clear broken glass away from the street.

The café’s owners said in a statement: “As many of you will be aware, unfortunately due to recent events we will be closed until further notice.

“Thankfully, no injuries were recorded. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope to be running back to normal as soon as possible.”

The Yorkshire Ambulance Service confirmed it treated two people at the scene.

There is currently no word on what caused the crash or what happened to the driver.

However, they added that neither of them were taken to hospital.

West Yorkshire Police and the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service have been contacted for comment.
