Moment Driver Crashes Into Shop And Misses Owner By Inches

This is the moment an out-of-control car crashes through the front of a shop in Brazil and misses the owner by a cat’s whisker.

The incident was filmed by the store’s CCTV cameras on Colombo Avenue in the municipality of Maringa in the Brazilian state of Parana on 11th November.

In the footage, the heavyset shop owner, who has not been named, is seen looking at his phone in front of the entrance.

He turns his head and spots the out-of-control car mounting the pavement and heading his way.

He hops ever so slightly to his right and the car crashes through the shop front, missing the owner by inches.

The car apparently hits something solid and comes to an abrupt stop as broken glass rains down on its roof.

The motorist was treated at the scene and then taken to hospital for further medical care.

The police have confirmed that they are investigating the incident, but offered no further information as to what caused the driver to lose control of the car and crash into the shop.
