This is the moment when 24-year-old David Elly crashed his mother's Audi TT into a petrol station shop at 70mph, causing £190,000 worth of damage.

Before the accident, the TT was parked in a pub car park in Romiley; Elly then chose to move the car away from the pub because of a forthcoming pub function. He had been drinking and rowing with his girlfriend at the time, although he was found to be under the drink drive limit after the collision.
