Albert Carter ( above ) has been banned from entering any Sainsbury 's store in Britain - because he accidentally drove his red mobility scooter into another shopper . A grandfather has been banned from entering any Sainsbury 's store in Britain - because he accidentally drove his mobility scooter into another shopper . Albert Carter received a letter from the supermarket chain stating police would be called if he is seen in any of its 1,200-plus stores again as he would be a 'trespasser ' . The 80-year-old had gone into a branch of Sainsbury 's in Newcastle-under-Lyme to buy a packet of cigarettes on March 7 . He accidentally hit a woman with his scooter after paying and paramedics were called to the store . They took the shopper to hospital as a precaution . Mr Carter also struck a customer service desk with his scooter as he panicked following the collision with the female shopper . He received the letter outlining his ban less than a week later . The former truck driver said he has been made to feel like a 'shoplifter ' following the mishap and added that it was the first accident he has been involved in on his scooter . He said : ' I understand that they might be concerned about me coming into the shop after what happened but I have never had an accident on it before so why would they ban me forever ? 'It was my fault . I take the blame completely . After I paid at the front kiosk I turned to leave and then do n't know how it happened . ' I did n't do it on purpose but it was that quick I 'm not sure how I hit the women . I was really upset that I hurt someone . 'The staff and paramedics were nice at the time so I do n't understand why I have been sent this letter . I have never been a shoplifter so why are they treating me like one ? A letter sent by the store manager to the 80-year-old a week after the incident said that if he did enter a Sainsbury 's he would be treated as a 'trespasser ' ' I want to apologise to the lady . I am really upset to have hurt her . 'Even if I was let into Sainsbury 's I 'm not sure I would want to go in again after the way they treated me . I have barely left home since the incident . ' The letter stated : 'The invitation to enter and shop at all Sainsbury 's stores is permanently withdrawn due to the incident you were involved in . 'Should you enter any of our premises , you will be treated as a trespasser and the police will be called as necessary . ' The father-of-three 's daughter Jayne Taylor , from Chesterton , Staffordshire , has hit out at the supermarket for the ban , which she claims is normally reserved for shoplifters . The 50-year-old , who works as a security guard , said : 'Dad was so upset and distraught at what happened . Mr Carter said : 'Even if I was let into Sainsbury 's I 'm not sure I would want to go in again after the way they treated me . I have barely left home since the incident ' 'We are not denying that he was in the wrong but it was a complete accident , he did n't go into Sainsbury 's to plough customers down . ' I 'm just flabbergasted he has been treated like a criminal . It 's ridiculous . How will they enforce it ? 'It 's just out of order . He has now lost his confidence and wo n't go out on the scooter . ' A Sainsbury 's spokesman said : 'Our teams in store have a duty to consider the safety of all of our customers and this decision was reached after reviewing CCTV footage and other reports . 'We will , of course , be happy to discuss this further with Mr Carter and his family , to ensure that we maintain a safe shopping environment for everyone . ' A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman added that the female patient was taken to the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Hartshill as a precaution and had non-serious injuries .
