An elderly woman knocked down four people when she accidentally drove her car into a supermarket.

Footage taken seconds after the smash, shows how her car came to a stop, a whisker away from the tills.

The OAP can be seen behind the wheel of the vehicle, which was left with a visibly damaged bonnet.

Local media say the woman wanted to reverse out of her parking spot, but lurched forward by mistake on Friday (16 Aug), as reported by Need To Know.

She went straight through the glass shopfront and ended up in the store’s check-out and pharmacy section.

She reportedly hit four people.

Police officers and paramedics arrived on the scene in Mexico City, Mexico, and tended to those involved.

A 66-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

A 71-year-old woman was left with open tibia and fibula fractures in both legs.

And a 54-year-old woman picked up a suspected fracture in her right hand.

Both were taken to the hospital for urgent treatment.

The elderly driver, whose name has been withheld, was in stable condition when she was detained at the scene by the police.

She was handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office.

The fire brigade arrived on the scene to remove the car and clear the store of debris.

The supermarket is closed until the damage is repaired.

Some reports give the driver’s age as “80” while others state she was “around 70”.
