Man arrested after car ploughs into wall at Chorlton Morrisons

A man has been arrested after a car ploughed into a wall at a supermarket in Chorlton.

The drama unfolded just after 3pm after a Vauxhall 4x4 smashed through a wall in the car park of Morrisons on Wilbraham Road.

Pictures from the scene showed the car's rear end smashed against the wall of the main supermarket building close to the store's main entrance.

There were also bricks from an outer wall which protects the entrance and part of which had been flattened, scattered around the vehicle.

Paramedics as well as police responded after the alarm was raised by shocked store staff and customers.

North West Ambulance Service said they attended but said no one had to be taken to hospital.
