Bowling alley to remain shut after BMW wall crash

A bowling alley in Derbyshire will remain closed "until further notice" after a BMW crashed through the wall.

Three people were injured after a crash in Derby Road, Ilkeston, shortly before 17:00 BST on Friday.

Derbyshire Police said the crash involved two cars, one of which went through the side of MFA Bowl.

On Saturday, the venue said it would remain closed "due to circumstances beyond our control".

It thanked members of the public for their "supportive messages" and added: "Please know we will be back open once we're allowed.

"A huge thank you to all the emergency services involved. We are extremely grateful those injured only suffered minor injuries."

Police said that three people were treated for minor injuries, and the driver, a 21-year-old man, was arrested and taken to hospital.

Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service said "multiple crews" attended to assist police.

The service assessed structural damage to the building after the vehicle left a hole in the wall of the bowling alley.

Derby Road was closed for five hours before being reopened.
