Multiple people have been injured after a car collided with a building at a Devon hospital, police have said.
Officers were called to the grounds of Torbay Hospital, Torquay, at 10.50am on Wednesday following the collision.
Devon and Cornwall Police said “a number of people” inside the building were injured.
The driver, a man in his 60s, was treated in hospital and several other people sustained minor injuries, the force said.
A woman suffered serious but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, it added.
The force said: “Members of hospital staff and all three emergency services attended the scene and worked quickly to assist those who had been injured in the incident.
“Officers would like to thank hospital staff for their assistance in managing the scene and members of the public visiting the hospital for their patience.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
