A CAR that was driven into the beer garden of a Worsbrough pub on Saturday was ‘lucky’ not to injure anyone, according to the landlady.
Following England’s Euro 2020 quarter-final win over Ukraine on Saturday, fans at The Red Lion pub, on Park Road, were overjoyed - and fortunately the rain kept them inside.
At around 10.30pm a black car crashed into the beer garden, leaving pub landlady Emma Draper without the ‘majority’ of her outdoor seating.
She told the Chronicle: “It is frustrating but I’m really thankful that it was raining and no-one was sat outside because it would have been so much worse if there were people there.
“We won’t be able to use the majority of the beer garden for about a week because we need new fencing and tables - we’re going to be losing business from it.
“But the police were really quick on the scene and everyone was brilliant - the council and the locals acted so well.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
