FOUR women were injured, one seriously, after a car careered out of control and crashed into a tree on a road outside a stately home.
Fire crews cut a hole in a hedge to allow paramedics to carry a 23-year-old woman suffering serious abdominal and shoulder injuries to the Great North Air Ambulance after a car she was travelling in veered off The Stray, Castle Howard, North Yorkshire, at about 12.10pm on Saturday.
She was then airlifted to James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough.
After receiving treatment at the scene, the other three women were carried to ambulances before being taken to York Hospital with minor injuries.
Police have launched an investigation into why the car left the road.
