Car Rams Historic Leicester Store | Leicester News

A car plowed straight through the brick wall of historic Tylers department store in Leicestershire, a family-run business since 1922 — the first time a vehicle has breached the building itself. CCTV captured the chaos as a white VW Golf crashed in, backed out, and was abandoned nearby. The owner, preparing for reopening the next day, now faces a devastating blow. Police have charged 26-year-old Channice Pullen with dangerous driving, DUI, failing to stop, and assaulting an emergency worker. The incident adds heartbreak to an already painful chapter: Tylers will close in January 2027 after a century on the site, as developers prepare to demolish the Carillon Court shopping center.
