Speaking about this morning's crash, local councillor Cathy Mason said the incident caused significant damage to a local business.

She said: "The local community have been left shocked by what happened. 

"It's a miracle that neither the occupants of the vehicle, nor local residents were killed following this reckless incident.

"There is absolutely no place for this type of behaviour in our society; and those responsible must now face the full rigour of the law."
