Four teens rushed to hospital as car smashes into garden wall at high speed

The two vehicles collided on the A162 near Tadcaster just before 1am this morning. The driver, a 17-year-old boy, and four girls reported to be aged 16, were taken to hospital for treatment. He was driving a Ford Fiesta when he crashed into a parked VW Polo and a garden wall while the village was sleeping. 

Their injuries range from cuts and bruises to possible spinal injuries.

Firefighters, police and five ambulance crews rushed to the scene.

All five occupants of the car were treated at the scene before being transferred to hospital. 

Officers sealed off a section of the main A162 road while they dealt with the incident. 

A spokeswoman for Yorkshire Ambulance Service said: "Five ambulances and a clinical supervisor were dispatched to the scene and five patients were conveyed to Leeds General Infirmary."

Yorkshire Police said in a statement: "The driver and four teenage girls who were passengers in the Fiesta, were all taken to hospital for treatment to various injuries.

"Although some injuries are serious, none are believed to be life-threatening."

Dramatic photos showed crash debris scattered across the ground. 

Members of the public can be seen on the main road with emergency service workers.

The pair required treatment from paramedics after being pulled from the wreckage of their car, which ended up on its roof.
