A Vauxhall Corsa hit the front windows of Gerrards Bakery on Ruthin Road, Wrexham, at about 02:20 BST on Monday.

The two people in the car were taken to the city's Maelor Hospital, where the driver died.

Sgt Steve Richards of North Wales Police said the force's "thoughts are with the man's family at this difficult time".

He added: "Significant damage was caused to the shop front and nearby property and the road was closed for a long time to allow colleagues from the forensic collision investigation team and Wrexham council's structural engineers to make an initial assessment."
