A rally car crashed off an Oxfordshire racing track and hit three people — leaving two seriously injured.

The car crashed off the road and on to a grass verge at Abingdon Motorsports Carnival this morning.

Two people — a 60-year-old man from Hampshire and an 18-year-old from Surrey — were taken to hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries.

Thames Valley Police spokesman Adam Fisher said the two injured men were marshals at the event.

He added a 22-year-old photographer from High Wycombe also received minor injuries.

The driver and co-driver of the car were treated at the scene for shock after the incident at Dalton Barracks at about 9.30am today.

Police are investigating the incident in conjunction with the Health and Safety Executive and the British Motorsport Association.
