The car – which appears to be travelling at some speed – then continues to drive at an angle into the two people, crashing into the man’s chair.
Police have confirmed a 53-year-old woman has since been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and driving without due care.

Recently, another viral crash prompted debate online, leaving people conflicted over which driver is in the wrong in a TikTok video.
The recording of the incident - which happened near Ockham Village in Surrey - was uploaded by TikTok account @danparkin, and shows a Mercedes whizzing along and speedily flying over a junction.

However, as it travels over the intersection, a van comes into view from the left, colliding with and clipping the back of the Mercedes, causing it to spin off to the other side of the road.
The Mercedes slows to a halt, but doesn't get out of the crash unscathed as the bottom half of its back bumper trailing behind it, barely clutching on.
Viewers have flocked to the post to weigh in on which driver is responsible for the collision.
One TikTok user said: "For the non brits, the merc is coming out of a side road, is required to stop at the line and look and the van is on the main road."

"I don't see a stop sign tho," another responded.
A final commented: "There's barely any road marking on the give way road the merc was on, could be taken to court and contested but van also hit the back side of the merc."
