A WOMAN suffered life-threatening injuries after her car ploughed into a wall on Saturday morning.

A police spokesman said: "At approximately 1.30am on Saturday, a Ford Ka driven by a woman aged in her 20s went off the road at Lake Hill near Sandown on the Isle of Wight.

"The car collided with a perimeter wall and came to a stop in the garden of a home address. There was no impact with the home address.

"The female driver received life-threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.
"Three passengers were also travelling in the car at the time of the collision. They received injuries that are not thought to be life-threatening.

"No other vehicles were involved in the collision."

Part of Lake Hill was closed, while police examined the scene for evidence. Diversions were in place at junctions near the Fairway and the Heights Leisure Centre. The road was re-opened by 9.30am.

Police have appealed for witnesses to the collision and anybody who saw a Ford Ka being driven in the Lake Hill area shortly before 1.30am.

*The woman was transferred to the neurological intensive care unit at Southampton General Hospital. A spokesman said today (Monday) that the woman remained in a critical condition.
