A passenger has been left with life-threatening injuries after an Audi crashed into a car dealership.

The incident happened at 22:00 GMT on Thursday, off Mannaberg Way in Scunthorpe, with the car smashing through the windows of Drayton Motors.

Humberside Police have arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, driving without a licence, driving with no insurance, failing to stop at the scene of a collision and driving while under the influence of drugs.

Two other passengers were taken to hospital with injuries that are not thought to be serious.

Officers are asking anyone with information or dashcam footage of the incident to contact them.
