British Mayor Who Once Trained Bus Drivers Crashes Car Through Market
A mayor has driven his car through the doors of his local Tesco Express.
Councillor Terry Buckle, mayor of St Edmundsbury in Suffolk, drove his car into the store at Lawson Place, Moreton Hall, on Tuesday afternoon.
He was taken to West Suffolk Hospital with minor injuries but later released. His family said he was "all right".
Morteon Hall councillor Frank Warby said: "He had a slight mishap. They are automatic doors so opened as he approached."
Suffolk Police said officers were called to the store, which is on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds, at 16:35 BST.
'Speedy recovery'
A spokesman said the doors of the store were broken but there was "hardly any damage" to the car.
