The hatchback barrelled 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.

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