A MOTORIST IN Wicklow brought a new meaning to drive-through this afternoon after driving their car through the doors of a fast food restaurant in Arklow.

The motorist had placed their order before returning outside to wait in their car for the order.

However, the automatic Peugeot 206 went straight into drive and ended up inside the doors.

Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene, but luckily there were no injuries.
