Man dies after car crashes into supermarket in England

A man has died after a car crashed into a supermarket in England, BBC News reports. The incident happened on Friday night, when emergency services were called to the scene. The available report does not say where the store is, what caused the crash, or who the man was.

The car smashed through the shop's entrance, breaking the glass. When emergency services arrived, it was still sitting just inside the doors.

Eyewitness accounts

Tina Bonev, who saw the crash, called it "absolutely terrifying" and said there was "shock and confusion" afterwards.

Videos that eyewitnesses supplied to the BBC show shoppers standing just metres from where the car hit the store. Debris from the vehicle and items from the shelves are scattered across the floor, and an alarm is sounding. In the footage a man can be heard shouting: "Everyone get out the store." A woman asks whether anybody can do first aid.

The source material does not make clear exactly how the crash happened or whether anyone else was hurt. These details were not given.
