TWO teenagers suffered serious head injuries yesterday when the car they were travelling in hit a stone wall and flipped over.
The accident took place on the A67 in Piercebridge, near Darlington.
A 19-year-old male, from Stockton, had to be cut free from the wreckage of the red Peugeot 206 by firefighters.
He was taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital and later transferred to James Cook Hospital, Middlesbrough.
The female driver, 19, of Barnard Castle, also had shoulder and abdominal injuries and was also taken by ambulance to Darlington Memorial Hospital.
Last night, both were in a stable condition.
The accident happened at about 8.15am on the western outskirts of Piercebridge, near the junction with the B6275.
The A67 was closed for about two-and-a-half hours with diversions in place.
Anybody who saw anything is asked to contact the police investigation team on 0191-375 2159.
