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.

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.
