Exclamation Mayor Terry Buckle drives his car into Tesco Express store in Moreton Hall
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-22619361

Quote:
A mayor has driven his car through the doors of his local Tesco Express.

Councillor Terry Buckle, mayor of St Edmundsbury in Suffolk, drove his car into the store at Lawson Place, Moreton Hall, on Tuesday afternoon.

He was taken to West Suffolk Hospital with minor injuries but later released. His family said he was "all right".

Morteon Hall councillor Frank Warby said: "He had a slight mishap. They are automatic doors so opened as he approached."

Suffolk Police said officers were called to the store, which is on the outskirts of Bury St Edmunds, at 16:35 BST.

'Speedy recovery'

A spokesman said the doors of the store were broken but there was "hardly any damage" to the car.

Tesco said no customers or staff were hurt.
It could happen to anyone .....

Speaking as someone who has a little experience with East Anglian councillors, I have to say that I'd like to say I'm surprised. But in all honesty, I can't.

Arrow Mayor Terry Buckle 'blames brakes' for Tesco car crash
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-22629557

Quote:
A mayor who drove through the doors of his local Tesco Express is blaming his car's brakes, his colleague has said.

Councillor Terry Buckle, the new mayor of St Edmundsbury in Suffolk, drove into the store at Lawson Place, Moreton Hall, on Tuesday afternoon.

He was taken to West Suffolk Hospital with minor injuries.

His colleague, Councillor Frank Warby, told BBC Radio Suffolk: "He tells me he went to park his car, the brakes failed and the car carried forward."

Mr Buckle has been discharged from hospital and is now resting at home.

Tesco said nobody was hurt and that it was now considering "options for bollards" at the entrance.

Suffolk Police said there would be no further investigation but "words of advice" had been given to the driver.
Apparently, he's 73, so I'm guessing the "words of advice" included glasses, test and licence .....
