CCTV cameras captured the moment the car spun off the road and into the side of the former White Hart pub in Barnby Dun early yesterday morning.

Angry residents say the corner has been the scene of numerous crashes in recent years and fear that someone could be killed.

As the car approaches the corner at the junction with High Street near to The Olive restaurant and the former White Hart pub, now a cafe and cocktail bar called The Hart of Barnby Dun, the vehicle fails to take the bend and crashes through traffic bollards and flips across a wooden picnic table outside the premises.

The car then brushes against the side of the bar. After a few moments, the driver simply drives away from the scene, with the vehicle and occupants apparently unscathed.

One resident said: “We really do need to do something to make this road safer.

"People need to slow down before someone is seriously hurt.”

The crash comes just days after a man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving after a collision with a wall at the same junction.

A 28-year-old man was arrested following the crash at around 7pm on September 4 after his silver Skoda hit a wall.
