Teenage girl killed in car crash

A teenage girl has died and an 18-year-old man has suffered life-threatening injuries after a car crashed into a brick wall in South Yorkshire.

Hannah King, 16, was a rear passenger in a red MG Rover ZR which crashed into a wall outside a garden centre on Station Road in Wath-upon-Dearne.

The 18-year-old, a front seat passenger from Barnsley, suffered serious head injuries in the crash on Thursday.

The 17-year-old driver, from Bolton-on-Dearne, suffered a broken pelvis.

South Yorkshire Police said the car had left the road as it went round a left-hand bend and crashed into a brick wall at the garden centre at about 2120 GMT on Thursday.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to the crash to contact them.
