Tragedy averted as car rams into shop few minutess after its occupants stepped out

Occupants of a shop are lucky to be alive after a Mercedes rammed into the building only moments after they all exited the building.

A Facebook user whose mother spent her entire day in the building, with building workers and also occupants of the other shops, said they had only exited the building a couple of minutes before the car rammed into it, breaking the pillars and causing “extensive damage”.

Fortunately, no life was lost.
