THREE people have suffered serious injuries in a crash which saw a car hit a house near Martock.

The incident, in Long Load Road, Stapleton, happened at just before 12.30am on the morning of Sunday, July 6.
Police said an Audi A4 hit a house – with three people taken to hospital.

“The three occupants in the car have been taken to hospital with serious injuries,” an Avon & Somerset Police spokesperson said.

“Two of them are believed to have sustained life changing injuries and one is thought to have life-threatening injuries.

“No one in the property was harmed.”

Firefighters from Martock, Yeovil and Somerton were sent to the scene, using hydraulic cutting equipment to release a person from the vehicle.

“The building has sustained structural damage, therefore crews have used props to stabilise it,” a Devon & Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said.

The road was closed in both directions while an investigation into the crash got underway – and police are keen to hear from anyone who may have information about the incident.

Anyone who can help should contact police on 101 and give the reference number 5225188752.
