Irate man drives Rolls Royce into Tesco


An alleged drink driver drove his Rolls Royce through the windows of a Tesco superstore after staff refused to serve him alcohol.
Shoppers and workers at the branch in Andover, Hampshire, had to dive for cover as the luxury car crashed into checkouts.
The 50-year-old bearded man had stormed out of the shop after staff told him he was too drunk to be served any more drink.
He got into the Rolls Royce where managers unsuccessfully tried to talk him out of driving after he told them what he was going to do.
His first attempt at ramming the windows failed but that did not deter the enraged driver, who reversed, revved the engine and had another go.
This time, he put pedal to metal and smashed right into the shop, demolishing two checkouts, counters and ceiling fittings.
Emergency services were called and the store was evacuated - six women were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Hampshire Police spokeswoman Katie Wilson said: "Six women were injured and treated for cuts, bruises and shock by ambulance and air ambulance crew and taken to hospital for further checks.
"A 50-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and attempted murder."

Brad speaks about family life
Angelina Jolie already has us green with envy.
Not only is she probably the most beautiful woman in the world she's also dating the hottest guy on the planet.
They have beautiful children together and now Brad is telling everyone how wonderful his life is... it's enough to make us sick.
Speaking to NBC's Today programme at the premiere of his new film, Inglorious Bastards, Brad revealed he is more picky over roles these days as he doesn't like too much time away from home.
He admitted life with Angelina Jolie and their children is "rewarding".
He said: "Let me be the cliché, it's really rewarding," he said. "It's really been about discovery and finding new things of interest. And the kids are certainly responsible for a lot of that."
When asked if he was happy he said he was "right in the zone" and that this time in his life is "one of the most on-track times".
