RTA on Market Street

A car is embedded in the printer's shop. My understanding is that a customer had just bought the brand new vehicle from Stoneacres across the road; they hit the accelerator instead of the brake coming out of Dawson Street and shot straight across the road. No-one was badly injured but the car cannot be removed until structural engineers have assessed the damage to the building.
