Twelve people, including a driver, were injured earlier on Thursday after a car smashed into Hijab House in Greenacre, New South Wales, Australia.
Videos shared via social media show a dark vehicle with its tires smoking, pushing a white sedan that had stopped at the traffic lights. After the white vehicle pulled away, the black one proceeded to plough into a shop that turned out to be a hijab store.
