This is the moment a woman driver knocks over a signpost, nearly flattens a pedestrian and crashes into a shopfront after she caught the heel of her shoe between the pedals.

The incident was filmed in Banja Luka, the second-largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the de facto capital of the Republika Srpska region, when the woman driver, identified by her initials D.S., caught the heel of her shoe between the pedals and lost control of the vehicle.

In the footage, the woman’s car is seen mounting the pavement, knocking over a sign and nearly hitting a female pedestrian before crashing into the front of a shop.

According to local media, extensive damage was caused to the shop and the vehicle which was a company car.

Fortunately, no one was injured although D.S. and a shop worker were reportedly shaken by the incident.

According to local media, the woman driver told the police that the heel of her shoe became stuck between the pedals as she was driving on a roundabout.

During her moment of panic, she realised that the pavement was clear and turned in that direction.

She managed to dodge the parked cars on the pavement, but could not slow down in time to avoid crashing into the shop.
