“He was very apologetic.
“I would imagine we will have to close for a while for repair work to be carried out which will have a massive impact on my business.
“The police were involved.
“They checked the vehicle was legal and they are now happy for the insurance company to deal with it.
“I don’t know damage costs as yet but there will be business interruption along with building a new shop front.”
Many took to social media to voice their support for Wendy.
One person said: “That’s terrible. Hope you’re all alright!”
Another said: “That’s the last thing you want Wendy, hope everything is sorted out soon.”
Wendy added: “I would also like to say thank you to all the locals who got in touch with me to tell me what had happened and thank you to everyone for their kind wishes and support we have had today (Tuesday).”
