THIS is the shocking moment a speeding driver lost control of his car and crashed into a curry house.
CCTV footage shows the vehicle ploughing through a zebra crossing’s beacon before hitting the restaurant in south west London.
The car is seen driving on the pedestrian walk at a fast speed being chased by police.
The building scrapped the side of the car, ripping its door off and damaging the corner of the building.
A police car pulls up to the collision with Jolly’s Indian Restaurant a second after the crash.
A spokesperson for Jolly’s Indian Restaurant said: “Luckily, it didn’t hit the actual restaurant, but a side building.
“It was a very near miss.
“And could have been so much worse.
“We’ve been here eight years and this is the worse car accident we’ve had.
“But there are regular accidents on a small roundabout nearby.
“We’re looking to do an application to the local authority to put up a barricade on our side of the road.
“It is dangerous.”
The crash happened at 2am on January 2 on Hounslow Road, Whitton, London.
The owner of Indian restaurant said that the driver was very lucky.
They confirmed – despite the break-neck speed of the collision – that the restaurant building only sustained minor damage.
But locals were shocked by the blood-curdling smash.
One said: “Jeeze the speed of that car is quite something.
“I’m surprised it wasn’t worse than it was.”
Another said: “Grand Theft Auto has now officially come to Whitton.”
And a third added: “A shame for Jolly’s but thank goodness there wasn’t anyone on the pavement there.
“They would have been killed.”
