VIDEO: Porsche crashes into Surbiton nail salon
9:00am Wednesday 27th February 2013 in News By Jon Sharman, Reporter
A silver Porsche Boxster crashed into Emma's Nails in Surbiton
A silver Porsche Boxster has crashed into a nail salon this morning.
The car smashed through the window of Emma’s Nails in Victoria Road, Surbiton, at about 7am.
The driver had turned right into the road from Brighton Road, red watch crew manager Ian Meyer said.
The reason for the crash is unknown, he added.
An ambulance crew and a first responder car were sent by the London Ambulance Service, a spokeswoman said.
One patient, with no visible injuries, was treated for shock but was not taken to hospital.
David Coplin-Chard from Parry and Drewett estate agents in Victoria Road, said: “When I saw it I thought, there's a car in a shop. A couple of years ago a car came in through the front of our shop as well.”
Jane Seymour, from I J Beim & Associates in Victoria Road, said: “I did not notice it at first until I came back out of Sainsbury’s.
"I hope nobody was hurt but otherwise it is a bit of a giggle. It’s like the pictures you see of a sports car in a building.
"Do not go and have your nails done today."

I do hope that the driver was wearing a crash helmet, a yellow hi-vis jacket, had working lamps on his or her vehicle and had taken an advanced driving course. Nobody has a bell these days! I blame John Prescott (oh but didn't he make bells on new bikes mandatory?) I blame him anyway.

They should keep off the pavements. What's the point of providing all those segregated safe roads if they don't use them???!!!! All that council tax gone to waste when it could be used to pay for hanging baskets somewhere!!!
