Two people have been hospitalised after a car ploughed into trees in North Ayrshire. Emergency services were alerted to the smash having taken place shortly after 2pm today on Maree Place, Castlepark, Irvine.
Police Scotland and Scottish Ambulance Service raced to the scene and a man and a woman were taken to Crosshouse Hospital to receive treatment. The extent of their injuries, as well as their current condition, is unclear.
Photos taken at the crash site, which were shared on social media, show the aftermath of the dramatic incident, with a black motor submerged in large bushes and shrubbery, which appear to have fallen on top of it.
