Marc Schirripa, who took over the Adelaide IGA Local Grocer Woodville just four weeks ago, was restocking shelves when a vehicle reversed straight through the wall, sending bricks and debris flying around him.

CCTV caught Schirripa standing inches from the impact zone, frozen and shell-shocked as a row of snacks was obliterated behind him.

He described experiencing a 'sonic boom' and 'big wave' at the moment of impact, saying he 'had no idea what was happening at all.'

His store posted the footage to Facebook with the caption: 'Aisle 4 just became the fast lane' — with one viewer convinced it was AI-generated.
