A police spokesman described the injury as “non life-changing”.

The car also hit nearby salonAbsolutely Fabulous Tanning, damaging the shop front through a metal shutter.

A salon worker, who did not want to be named, said: “The car went through the shop window.

“There was a lot of damage but obviously we were more concerned about people being hurt.

“The car must have been going at quite a speed but I don’t know what happened because no one was at the shop in the evening.

“It’s all boarded up now but we are up and running and open for business.”

The car driver was not treated for any injuries but the road was closed for several hours by the police while the silver Volkswagen Golf was removed.
