Three people were seriously injured after a two-car collision in St Albans in the early hours of Saturday morning.

At around 12.36am a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO hit the kerb in Harpenden Road near Heathlands Drive and then veered into the opposite lane and collided with a Volvo XC90.

The front seat passenger of the EVO, a 25 year old man, was taken to St Mary’s Hospital in London with serious head injuries.

The 26-year-old driver of the same car and the other passenger, a 24-year-old woman, were also seriously injured and taken to Watford General Hospital.

A 45-year-old woman driving the Volvo suffered minor injuries but was not taken to hospital.

Those with information have been asked to call PC Helen Carpenter on the Herts police non-emergency number 101.
