Car smashes through toilet of pub

A pub landlady has told how she discovered a car embedded in the wall of the men’s toilets.

Di Watson, from the Gredington Arms, in Llan y Pwll, near Wrexham, said she had been with customers on Saturday night when she heard a “massive bang”.

She said: “I knew exactly what had happened. It has happened before.”

The driver was taken to hospital with a suspected broken wrist. The A534 was closed overnight but has since reopened with one lane and traffic lights.

The accident happened on a bend on the A534 near Sandy Lane at Llan y Pwll.

“It’s like something out of a film set, with part of the car sticking out and the front sticking through the wall”

Ms Watson said: “I was in the restaurant with customers and we heard a massive bang.

“A car with several people had gone into the wall, flown through the air and embedded itself in the gents’ toilets.

“It’s like something out of a film set, with part of the car sticking out and the front sticking through the wall.”

The accident happened at about 2100 BST.

“I knew exactly what had happened because it’s happened before. Shortly after we took over the pub we had a car crash into it.”

She said she had previously asked the Highways Agency for a reduction in the speed limit on the road but had been told it was not possible.

The pub is still open after a structural engineer visited and said there was no danger.

“We’re still serving even with the car lodged in in the gent’s wall,” she said.
