Car destroys Home Sweet Home

A car reversed into a shop in a busy Essex town centre, destroying a large chunk of the front of the building.



The vehicle crashed through the window of Home Sweet Home in Leigh-on-Sea at about 11:40 on Tuesday.

Most of the estate car was inside the shop when it stopped, surrounded by glass, rubble and store items.



Firefighters said it was "amazing" nobody was injured as there were a number of people in Leigh Road at the time of the crash.
