A spokesperson for the force said: “Officers were called to Long Load Road, in Stapleton, just before 12.30am following a collision between a black Audi A4 and a house.”

“The three occupants in the car have been taken to hospital with serious injuries. 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.”

Enquiries are ongoing and the road remains closed in both directions while a full investigation is carried out.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue service were mobilised "following a call reporting a vehicle had driven in to a building, reporting that there was still an occupant inside the vehicle."

Crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to release the person from the vehicle. The building has sustained structural damage and crews have used props to stabilise it. 

Officers wish to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or the moments leading up to it. They also would like to hear from anyone who has doorbell, mobile or dashcam footage relevant to the investigation.

If you can help, call 101 and give the call handler the reference number 5225188752, or complete Avon and Somerset Police's online appeals form.
