A WOMAN has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving after a car ploughed into the front of an Ashton shop.
The vehicle became embedded in Alan Fish Ltd, on Canterbury Street, on Thursday, January 5 – the second such incident in four months.
Now Greater Manchester Police is weighing up whether to charge the woman, who managed to free herself.
Mr Fish, who was in the shop five minutes before the incident, which happened about 6.45pm, heard what happened and is left in disbelief.
He has boarded up the premises, which he has had for 46 years, after a similar thing happened in September.
Now police officers are deciding whether to charge the woman, who was taken into custody.
A GMP spokesman said: “At 6:45pm on Thursday, January 5, officers attended a road traffic collision on Canterbury Street in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
“A car collided with a building causing part of the building to collapse.
“One woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and has been taken into police custody as enquiries continue.”
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) added: “At around 6.45pm on Thursday 5 January, fire crews were called to reports of a road traffic collision on Canterbury Street, Ashton.
“Two fire engines from Ashton and Stalybridge stations, as well as the technical rescue unit from Ashton, quickly attended the scene. The incident involved a car colliding with a house causing significant structural damage.
“The driver had freed herself from the car prior to crews’ arrival and is being treated at the scene by North West Ambulance Service (NWAS). No other casualties have been reported.”
Pity the bitch wasnt killed outright when the piss head decided to destroy the building people keep asking how the driver is and did she get out ok well how about this 1 fuck how the driver is she should be f*****g dead what about alan fish and whoever was in the building when this pathetic pissed up/drugged up sad excuse for a human wiped out the building. Would any1 give a crap about her if it had been a child she had killed? I think not just because it’s a building and adults involved then it’s ok and we should all care about her well no, lock the arse up for 10 yes then make her pay for the damage.
This low life should have the book thrown at her !drugged up and pissed up just think if your kids or other members of your family we passing ?get this articles license off her for good !!!and lock her up give her a prison sentence !!make sure she pays for the damage ‘and the cost of emergency services
My honest opinion she was a selfish cow getting out of the car when she crashed saying I am OK drunk as anything but not giving a shit about who she may of hurt or more serious murderd just about her self hope she gets what she deserves she was in control of that car and should pay for what she has done no slap on the wrist the most upsetting is she has ruined someone’s work place and could of killed some one be stupid
