“Preliminary investigations found that the incident began when a vehicle driven by a local woman was reversing out of a parking space and collided with another car behind her,” he stated.

“As a result of the collision, the driver of the second vehicle is believed to have accidentally pressed the accelerator pedal. This caused the car to lose control and mount the kerb of a nearby eatery,” he explained in a statement on Thursday (16 April).
