Two people were taken to hospital after a car left the road in Elworth today (Tuesday), went through a hedge and crashed into the front of a house.

Bystanders watched in horror as the vehicle moved across the car park outside Middlewich Road Co-op at lunchtime before colliding with the front of a house.

The front windows of the house on the right-hand side of the Co-op were damaged and parts of the car were visible inside the hedge at the side of the house.

Marie Edgar, manager of Middlewich Road Co-op, said she was in the office around lunchtime when she heard a loud bang.

"We ran outside and could see a car had gone through the hedge. Two people were in the car and we helped them. It's just lucky no one was injured," she said.
