He said the crash happened close to the entrance to Sainsbury's, which had been busy at the time, with many shoppers coming and going.
Michael told The Star: "It just happened so quickly. Thankfully there were no children in the playground but Sainsbury's was quite busy at the time so there were lots of people around.
"Thankfully everyone's OK, even the guy who was driving, who seemed to be in a state of shock."
The Star has contacted Crystal Peaks and Sainsbury's.
