Dramatic pictures show the aftermath of a crash which left a Bishop Auckland beauty business severely damaged.
Barriers have been erected outside The Brow Lounge on Newgate Street after unconfirmed reports of a smash. The business appears to have suffered severe structural damage with smashed windows and a destroyed shop front.
The path has also been partially closed off to pedestrians.

It comes just two days after the shop took to Facebook after their windows were damage and their Lego trial "ruined".
The business claimed the windows were smashed with a rock, although this has not been confirmed by emergency services.
The Northern Echo has contacted Durham Police and the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) for comment.
