The moment a car narrowly avoided hitting a mobility scooter before crashing into the side of a convenience store has been caught by CCTV.
A Ford Fiesta crashed into an advertisement bollard and the front of the Spar shop on Gorleston High Street shortly after 10.30am today (May 20).
As the car left the road, it appeared to have been within inches of hitting a mobility scooter outside the shop.
People on the street rushed to the scene moments after the collision. The East Anglian Ambulance Service was on scene but no injuries were reported.

At the time of the crash, security camera footage appears to show the Fiesta driver swerving out of the way of a taxi which had started to turn into the taxi rank by the bus stop.
