A lot of Brits would have been stumbling for an early morning kebab on Bank Holiday Monday - but one man was more eager than the rest - and ended up ploughing his car right through the front of a takeaway shop.

The hapless motorist, 29, lost control of his Ford Fiesta and crashed backwards through the window of Flames fast food outlet in Smallthorne, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs at around 8am.

After clambering from the wreckage showered with glass, he then told stunned witnesses: 'I better call my mum'.

Aw shish! The hapless driver lost control of his car before ending up back-first through the takeaway window

The man was arrested at the scene. A police spokesman said: 'He was held on suspicion of failing to provide a roadside breath test sample and obstructing a constable in execution of his duty.

'He was bailed to return to a police station at a later date.'

Staff put on a brave face after discovering the car parked right through the window of their shop - by joking the driver must have been hungry for a snack.
