The first collision took place on Sunday (November 10) night at 6pm, seeing a car collide with a Tesco Extra on Queen Square, West Bromwich. 

Luckily, no one was seriously injured in the incident, however, one man - the driver - was assessed for minor injuries before being discharged at the scene.

Charlotte Richardson, who was on her way back from a meal with her family, said: "Sure what is happening up West Brom tonight, but a car looks like it has gone through the side of Tesco. 

"There were around four or five vehicles, with police, fire and ambulance all up there."

Another incident, this time in Shropshire, saw a lorry knockdown an overhead powerline on Monday (11), only hours after another lorry crash into a pub.
