A car smashed through the front of a pharmacy narrowly missing members of staff inside.
Emergency services were called to Chadwick Street in Moreton at around 3pm to reports that a blue Ford Focus had collided with the front of Rowlands Pharmacy.

Significant damage was caused to the structure of the shop but a witness told the ECHO that staff were not injured in the crash.
Police and fire crews arrived at the scene and a cordon was quickly put in place around the shop.
Officers confirmed that two people were inside the car when it crash and that the male driver was described as "walking wounded".
