An elderly man has been taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital after a car smashed into a shop in Stoke this morning.

Police and paramedics were called to Liverpool Street, Stoke, just after 9am this morning (31 January) following reports that a black Volvo had collided with 'I Wis Framed'.

A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service told Nub News: "Upon arrival we found an elderly man who was the driver of the car.
