Drama as car ploughs into pub

A car crashed into the front of a Black Country pub destroying a wall and bay window.

The black Fiat car smashed into the front of the Horse and Jockey pub in Darlaston at around 3.45am today.

Landlord of the Walsall Road pub, James Greenway said he was woken by the crash which happened just below his bedroom window.

The 57-year-old said: "I was woken by the skid and then there was the loud crash. I didn't know what was going on, and I felt the building shake as it hit. It was right below my window, you wouldn't believe that such a small car could cause so much damage."
