Shoppers who witnessed the incident reported that a driver suffered a suspected seizure at the wheel which caused him to lose control and collide with other vehicles in the car park.

One motorist involved in the incident said he was in his car with his four children when another car crashed into him. He said one of his children suffered a broken arm but the others escaped from the crash unscathed.

Aldi and the car park remain open, but police remain at the scene to investigate exactly how the crash happened.
