A PUB had a close call when an out-of-control car stopped just in front of it.

The driver of the Peugeot is not thought to have been injured when he crashed through a fence and stopped just before the White Hart in Easthampstead Road, Wokingham, at 2.30pm today (Saturday).

Firefighters were called out to stop petrol leaking from the damaged tank and Wokingham fire station crew manager Russell Gascoyne said: 'The vehicle had lost control and had basically collided with the fence and ended up outside the pub.'

He added: 'The driver seemed ok. He was very fortunate.'
