A teenager was badly injured early yesterday when his car crashed into a wall and a lamp-post.

The 19-year-old from Lancing was driving along Manor Road in Lancing at 1.25am when his Vauxhall Astra crashed on a bend at the junction of Mill Road.

The car struck a flint wall, then crashed into the lamp-post.

The teenager had to be cut from the car and was taken to Worthing Hospital with serious injuries.
