No one in the property in Filey was injured when the Hyundai saloon left Scarborough Road just before 8pm on Tuesday, North Yorkshire fire service said.

Firefighters from Scarborough and Filey cleared debris from the side of the car after the alarm was raised at 7.54pm. The two occupants of the vehicle could not get out because of their injuries.

Both the driver and passenger were freed by 8.24pm, firefighters said. Both were taken to Scarborough Hospital.
