TWO people are in a 'serious condition' in hospital following a car crash in Gourock in the early hours of this morning.
The accident happened on Cloch Road, near the lighthouse, around 1am. It involved a Ford Fiesta which police say appears to have gone out of control before leaving the road.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and the 18-year-old male driver and his 19-year-old female passenger were taken by ambulance to Inverclyde Royal where they are being treated for their injuries.
The road was closed for approximately nine hours, whilst enquiries into the cause of the crash were carried out.
Inspector Gillian Gardner, from the Divisional Road Policing Unit at Greenock Police Station, said: “The investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing and I would urge anyone who witnessed it take place, or who saw the Ford Fiesta being driven in the local area shortly before the crash took place to contact us. Anyone with information that may assist our enquiry should contact Greenock police office through 101.”
