The owner of Indian restaurant which was hit by the car said the driver was very lucky.
It happened in Hounslow Road, in Whitton near Twickenham, south west London, as reported by Need To Know.
A spokesperson for Jolly’s Indian Restaurant said: “Luckily, it didn’t hit the actual restaurant, but a side building.
“It was a very near miss.
“And could have been so much worse.
“We’ve been here eight years and this is the worse car accident we’ve had.
“But there are regular accidents on a small roundabout nearby.
“We’re looking to do an application to the local authority to put up a barricade on our side of the road.
“It is dangerous.”
They confirmed – despite the break-neck speed of the collision – that the restaurant building only sustained minor damage.
But locals were shocked by the blood-curdling smash.
One said: “Jeeze the speed of that car is quite something.
“I’m surprised it wasn’t worse than it was.”
Another said: “Grand Theft Auto has now officially come to Whitton.”
And a third added: “A shame for Jolly’s but thank goodness there wasn’t anyone on the pavement there.
“They would have been killed.”
It happened at around 2am on 2 January.
The Met Police has been approached for comment.
