Women in Sydney shop when car careered into it mark reopening
Two women who were hurt after an SUV ploughed into a Sydney shop have cut the ribbon to reopen it.
Fatima Saadi and Aamani Houchar helped unveil Hijab House in Greenacre, in the city's south west, to shoppers again.
Two of the women in the shop when the accident happened have reopened the clothing store in Sydney. Nine
In May a car slammed into the store at speed.
Ms Saadi was working there, and Ms Houchar was in a changing room, where a wall crashed down on her.
Ms Houchar said it was surreal to be back.
"The last time I was standing there it was in completely different circumstances," she said

"We can't believe how much of a miracle it was that we were able to walk out alive that day." Steve Houchar from the company, said they've had a lot of support.
"Everyone's just pitched in and got this place open again," he told 9News. However, staff have said they'll only feel safe if extra bollards are installed to protect them from the cars that speed through the busy intersection.
Officials say they're looking at what can be done.
