Two people were lucky to escape alive after a car hit a tree in Harrogate in the early hours of this morning.
The car was severely mangled by the crash, which took place on Harlow Moor Road, close to Harrogate Spring Water's headquarters, at around midnight.
North Yorkshire Police traffic officer Sgt Paul Cording tweeted that the two people inside the Vauxhall managed to get out with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
He added:
"I am still gobsmacked that we were not doing the long walk to someone’s house last night for 'that knock'.
"The intrusion is unbelievable and testament to the advancement in vehicle safety & another reason we bang on all the time about wearing seatbelts #Fatal5"
