A Nuneaton woman narrowly escaped injury when a brick was thrown at her car as she drove down a Bedworth street yesterday.

The woman was driving her Ford Fiesta past Kwik Save in Mill Street at 6pm when the missile hit her car.

The brick had been thrown from the top of a nearby car park and smashed a light on the car.

Police said the woman was very lucky to escape injury as serious damage could have been caused to the car had it hit.
