A cafe described as "one of the most beloved places in St Helens", which provides a safe haven to people with autism and anxiety disorders, has been forced to shut its doors after a car came crashing through its front window.
Momo's Cafe on Westfield Street suffered major damage when it is believed a driver suffered a medical episode at the wheel of his car and drove into the building at around 4.50am this morning, May 7. Half of the exterior window was smashed, and a front door was caved in.
Speaking about the incident, Momo's owner Claire Rigby said: "I think it was a young lad. He's just come straight into the side of the building. There was a guy walking past, and if it wasn't for him I don't know what would have happened, but he managed to turn the ignition off."
