Five women miraculously escaped serious injury after a former judge ploughed his car into a beauty salon, striking everyone in his path.
Three employees and a customer were inside the premises when the crash unfolded last Wednesday (4 November).
CCTV footage shows the receptionist walking towards the entrance to let another woman in when a VW Taos suddenly hurtles into the salon, smashing through the glass doors.

The SUV continues forwards, sweeping everything in its path towards the back of the room.
The car eventually reverses as one woman crawls out from beneath the pile of furniture.
Miraculously, everyone involved escaped either uninjured or with only minor bumps and bruises.
The salon in City Bell, Argentina, was left in ruins, however, with chairs, workstations and a coffee table among the items destroyed.
The driver was identified as 85-year-old former judge Francisco Roncoroni. The reason why he lost control of the vehicle remains unknown.
An investigation into the property damage has been opened and handed to prosecutors in La Plata, as reported by Need To Know.
Roncoroni was appointed to the Supreme Court of Buenos Aires Province in 2002 and served until his retirement in 2007.
Before that, he was a judge at the La Plata Court of Appeal.
He graduated in law from the National University of La Plata in 1968.
He began his career in 1970 as a court secretary in La Plata, before becoming a judge in San Martín from 1972 to 1974.
He later served as a judge in La Plata from 1976 to 1982, before being promoted to the Court of Appeal.
