The white car, said to be worth around £80,000, crashed into the window of letting agent Winnard and Brown, on the corner of Market Street and Preston Road in Standish, late on Friday.

The vehicle appeared to have smashed through railings before hitting the building and was badly damaged, with the airbag deployed.

Winnard and Brown's window was smashed, but it was boarded up and staff were able to open for business as usual at 9am on Saturday.
