A pensioner was rushed to hospital today after her car smashed through the front of an Indian restaurant.
The 79-year-old woman was driving her black Ford Fiesta in Kingsway, Dovercourt, when the incident happened.
Sub officer Jason Whitnell, of Harwich fire station, said damage was caused to the front bay window of the Joi Tandoori restaurant and to the brickwork surrounding the frame of the window.
He said two members of the public had already managed to get the pensioner out of her car before they arrived.
The road was closed to traffic while firefighters and emergency crews worked at the scene.
