Car crashes into viral shop shutters where gran was hoisted into the air
The shop went viral when a grandmother got caught on its shutters - and has hit the headlines again
A shop made famous when a grandmother got caught on its shutter and was left dangling in the air has hit the headlines again after a car crashed through the front of it.
The Best-One shop in Tonteg, Rhondda Cynon Taf, caught the dramatic moment on CCTV when a Jaguar smashed through its doors after mounting bollards and crashing into the shop's coffee machine.
In March 2024, the shop went viral after staff member Anne Hughes got caught on the shutter while waiting for the shop to open to start her shift.
Anne, who died in 2025, was left dangling 7ft (2.1 metres) in the air and shouting for the owner to help her, with CCTV footage of the incident viewed tens of millions of times.
A Jaguar smashed through the shop's doors after the driver lost control of his car
People working in the shop could not believe the latest incident on Friday and were left "scared" when the car ploughed into the shop's entrance.
Donna Davies, who has worked in the shop for several years, said: "The car just came straight through, it was a loud noise and we didn't know what was happening but thought it could have been ram-raiders. It was scary."
She said she ran out and saw an elderly driver and passenger, who are both regulars to the shop, in the car.
"The driver said his foot slipped when he went to get out the car and the car came straight in," Donna said.
