A dramatic incident unfolded in the car park of the recently opened Sainsbury’s store in Hendon, as a vehicle crashed through a wall on the premises.
The store, which opened just days ago, saw its car park turn into a scene of chaos following the accident. Witnesses reported seeing the vehicle embedded in the wall, with debris scattered around. The circumstances leading to the crash remain unclear.
Witness Accounts
One shopper said: “I couldn’t believe it. The store hasn’t even been open a week, and this happens!” Another added: “It looked like the car had gone straight through the wall. Everyone seemed shocked, but thankfully no one appeared to be hurt.”
Emergency Services Response
Emergency services were seen attending the scene shortly after the incident. While there are no confirmed reports of injuries, responders cordoned off the area to ensure public safety.
Sainsbury’s staff were also on hand to assist with clearing the area and supporting customers.
Store Statement
A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s said: “We are aware of an incident at our new Hendon store and are working with authorities to investigate what happened. The safety of our customers and colleagues remains our priority.”
Investigation Underway
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. Early reports suggest driver error may have been a factor, but this has not yet been confirmed.
The store remains open, although parts of the car park are temporarily inaccessible. Shoppers are advised to approach the area with caution.
