A driver has been arrested and one of his passengers is critically ill in hospital after a car crashed into a tree and bridge in North Yorkshire.

It happened on Sandbeck, off Richmond Road, between Catterick and Richmond.

A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “One man, who was a passenger in the car, is currently in hospital with critical injuries.

“The other passengers were offered medical treatment at the scene.

“The driver, a man in his 20s, blew over the limit and was arrested on suspicion of drink driving. He was later treated at hospital.”
