A local businessman has spoken of his shock after discovering that his car shop was damaged when a drink driver smashed into the doors of his building – especially as perpetrator was a nun.

Fox29 has obtained footage of the nun being given a sobriety test by police shortly after she crashed into the Meineke Auto Shop in New Jersey, after a couple spotted the woman and contacted authorities.

The woman has only been described as a ‘Philadelphia nun’ by police, who allegedly drove into the business’s car park, backed into the auto shop door and smashed it, before driving away again.

She was stopped by police and allegedly failed a field sobriety test before being arrested for drink driving.
