The condition of two teenagers fighting for their lives after a crash in Horspath improved tonight.

The 19-year-old driver and a 17-year-old passenger were both in a critical but stable condition at Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital.

They were in a red Fiat Punto with three others when it crashed into a ditch on Friday evening.

Another 19-year-old remains in a critical condition. A 17-year-old with serious injuries had also improved last night.

A 19-year-old front seat passenger suffered minor injuries and was discharged from hospital.
