A carpenter applying the finishing touches to a new block of flats at Sneinton Market described hearing a 'loud bang' when recalling the moment a car mounted a pavement and crashed into the property. Aiden Bates, of All Construction Contractors, said windows had been "completely destroyed and need replacement".
Mr Bates, who said he heard a 'loud bang', was stunned to learn what happened and said a colleague informed him of the crash, shouting 'police, police'. "It is a nightmare really because we just finished it," said Mr Bates.
"Police came here within 30 seconds. No-one was injured but the window and frame were destroyed. We will be able to fix it, though. We are hoping to get everything ready in the next couple of weeks."
