“There are no injuries and we liaised with West Northamptonshire Council regarding making the damage to the wall safe.”

The car park was still closed on Wednesday after a collision on Friday (October 18), which saw the driver of a Seat Leon collide with two pedestrians before hitting the car park and causing significant damage. The pedestrians were both airlifted to hospital.

Joshua Coulton, of Military Court, pleaded guilty to a number of driving offences at court on Monday (October 21). The 23-year-old is due to appear before Northampton Crown Court in December.

West Northamptonshire Council has been contacted for comment about the reopening of the car park.
