A WOMAN was injured after a car crashed through the front of a shop and pinned her against a cabinet in a frightening incident captured on CCTV footage that has been widely circulated on social media.

The footage shows the woman speaking to a female shop worker behind the counter when a blue car suddenly ploughs into the shop, striking the customer and trapping her between the vehicle’s bonnet and a cabinet.

The shop worker appeared shocked and could be seen asking the driver to reverse before reaching for her mobile phone, possibly to seek assistance. The reason for the driver’s actions remains unclear.

According to an on-site report, the victim sustained a leg injury after being trapped between the car and the cabinet. An ambulance subsequently arrived and took her to hospital for treatment.
