Feather and Tails: Video shows the dramatic scene of a car wedged into the front of a Wakefield pet shop as owners reveal extent of damage inside

As reported by the Express earlier, firefighters were called to rescue someone from the car after it smashed into Feather and Tails on Westgate in the early hours of yesterday.

The people who run the shop have reassured concerned customers that all the animals are safe but have also been posting photos to show how much damage there is inside.

They said: “Thank you again everyone for your support and kind donations.

"We will be re-opening as soon as we can! This isn't going to stop us!”

An online fundraiser has been set up to support the shop.

It has already collected more than £1,000.

Earlier the shop posted: “Animals are off site and at our homes. Luckily our animals are never housed or left on the ground floor so all animals are safe and OK.”

A cordon was put around the shop and structural experts have been assessing the safety of the building.
