Two seriously injured in crash on A180 in Grimsby

TWO people suffered serious head injuries after the car they were travelling in was involved in a collision on the A180.

The incident happened adjacent to Adam Smith Street, in Grimsby, at about 11.15pm on Tuesday.

A white Mini Cooper car was being driven away from Cleethorpes by a 39-year-old Grimsby man when it left the carriageway and collided with a lamppost before travelling down a grass embankment onto Adam Smith Street.

The driver sustained severe facial injuries as well as injuries to his leg and back. The passenger, a 42-year-old Grimsby woman who was sitting in the front of the car, suffered a fracture to the skull and damage to her hip. Both casualties were taken to Grimsby’s Diana, Princess Of Wales Hospital and are said to have serious but not life-threatening injuries.
