Dartford, Kent — Emergency services rushed to the scene in Dartford last night after a Mini Cooper dramatically crashed into the front of a 15th-century pub located on the High Street. The incident, which occurred late in the evening, left the historic establishment with significant damage.

Witnesses at the scene described the surreal moment when the car collided with the aged structure, known for its historical significance and as a beloved local watering hole. The driver’s condition and the cause of the crash are currently under investigation, but early reports suggest no serious injuries occurred.

Adding a touch of historical humour to the incident, some onlookers joked that the crash might have been driven by lingering anger over the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381—though authorities were quick to clarify that this is highly unlikely.

The pub, which has stood since before the time of the Tudors, is a testament to Dartford’s rich history. Its sudden collision with modern motoring has sparked both concern and curiosity among the local community.

Police cordoned off the area immediately following the crash to assess the structural integrity of the building and to clear debris. The pub’s management and local historians are also evaluating the damage to this historic site.

Dartford Police are appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information to come forward to assist with the ongoing investigation. Meanwhile, the community is rallying around the pub, hopeful for a swift restoration so it can continue to serve as a link to the past in this bustling modern town.
