There is reportedly no one who has been seriously injured and no one has been arrested.

Witness to the incident, Lisa Lyddon said: "I was stood in the exact spot they hit about 5 mins before.”

 "I went back down the road and came back, and they already hit it, so I didn't see it, but I saw the owner of the shop and their kids, and they were pretty shook up - the kids were crying.

 "I was lucky - if they hit the shop when I was stood there, I wouldn't have been able to get out the way as I had both my dogs with me." 

Essex Police have confirmed no one was seriously injured and no arrests have been made.

An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called just after 11.10am to a road traffic collision on Connaught Avenue in Frinton-on-Sea."

"An ambulance was sent to the scene and assessed one patient, an adult woman, who did not require transportation to hospital.”
