A worker at an Adelaide IGA narrowly avoided injury when a car crashed through the wall on Monday. Security cameras captured a Cupra station wagon reversing through the building.
Shelves stacked with lollies flew across the aisle just as the worker stepped clear. No customers or staff were seriously hurt, though one worker was examined by paramedics.
The 31-year-old driver and 29-year-old passenger were uninjured. The store posted the footage on Facebook with humour, writing "Aisle 4 just became the fast lane".
South Australia Police fined the driver for reversing further than necessary.
