A car smashed through the window of a retail store in Eruera St yesterday.
Witnesses say a white car with two occupants hit a parked vehicle in Eruera St before swerving across the road, about 11am.
The driver of the car, thought to be an elderly female, crashed the vehicle into the front window of Bike Fix.
The vehicle's air bags deployed during the crash and learner plates were displayed in the car.
Police and ambulance attended the scene but nobody was hurt.
Bike Fix owner Steve Fitzgerald said he heard a loud bang, which must have been the car hitting a parked car across the road, before the car came through the shop window.
"She came in at full steam and would have hit the window at 30 to 40km/h."
Mr Fitzgerald said the glass had hurtled all the way to the back of the store. He said he remembered hearing the car's engine revving loudly before it smashed into the side of the store.
Goods on display inside the window were also damaged, he said.
One witness said she and her partner were in the store at the time of the crash and had to run to avoid being hit.
Meanwhile, Greenpeace has described it as a 'Scorched Earth Budget'.
