Dramatic scenes at shopping centre as driver crashes into multiple cars then front of B&M shop

These were the dramatic scenes at a shopping centre after a driver crashed into multiple parked cars and then a branch of B&M bargains, witnesses said.

The incident happened in the car park of Lime Square shopping centre in Openshaw, Manchester, this afternoon.

Emergency services rushed to the scene after a grey Vauxhall careered into at least two other vehicles and then into a wall at the entrance to B&M, it is believed.

Fortunately, it is understood no one was seriously hurt.

Pictures show a large hole has been left in the wall while the Vauxhall suffered serious damage and was taken away on a recovery truck.

Police cordoned off the area and the driver, a man in his 60s, was checked over by paramedics.

A relative of the driver spoke to the Manchester Evening News at the scene and said he was 'shaken' but otherwise uninjured.

The cause of the crash is not currently clear.

The driver's relative, who asked not to be named, said the Vauxhall is a Motability vehicle, adapted because he has only one leg having lost the other to diabetes.

"I'm just glad no one is hurt," the relative said.

The M.E.N has contacted both Greater Manchester Police and B&M for comment.
