People inside heard a loud bang, while those outside quickly ran indoors.

Landlady Jill Buchner said: “At first I thought someone had gone into the pub. There were people outside as there was a corporate running event happening, and luckily no-one was hurt. The poor driver was very shaken up.”

Police attended the scene along with a fire crew as the car was leaking fluids.
