A British woman has been killed and her husband left fighting for his life after an SUV crashed into a bakery on a Greek island.
The driver reportedly lost control of his vehicle before slamming into the building in Tigaki, Kos, shattering the windows and dragging the couple along.
The pair were sitting at tables outside the bakery when the large 4x4 came barreling towards them, local media reports.
They had been holidaying on the tourist hotspot island before the nightmare unfolded yesterday afternoon.
The driver had just left work and was on his way to the bakery when disaster struck, according to local news outlet Mega.
Both the couple and the driver were left injured after he struck the shop's window.
All three were rushed to hospital, where the woman succumbed to her injuries and died.
Her husband remains in critical condition, while the driver suffered only minor injuries.
A bakery worker told local news that the driver was turning towards the building when he appeared to lose control of the vehicle.
She said: 'The driver was in a state of shock, clutching his head, shouting "what happened, what did I do?"'
The Traffic Police in Kos have since launched an investigation into the crash.
