This is the moment a white SUV crashes into an Aldi supermarket, forcing shoppers to jump out of the way.
The car careered into the store in Chelmsford, Essex without warning shortly before midday on March 3.
CCTV from the store shows a shopper standing near the window packing away her shopping when the SUV smashes through the glass.
She is knocked to the floor by a metal shelf as the car drags it into the store.
Another shopper can be seen being struck by the SUV's bonnet and shunted into the store's shelving.

Amazingly, despite the speed of the impact and the extensive damage caused to the store front, nobody suffered serious injury.
Other people who were standing by the tills jumped clear as the car burst in.
After coming to a halt, the driver can be seen putting the car into reverse and exiting the store.
Other shoppers can be seen helping the knocked-over woman who is still sitting on the floor.
Several people suffered minor injuries, according to Essex Police.
One woman was taken to Broomfield Hospital for treatment for her injuries.
Essex Police confirmed they are appealing for information concerning the incident, especially anyone in the car park who might have dashcam footage.
Workers later cleared the debris from the shop and repaired the plate glass window before the store reopened.
