An 18 year old driver's been arrested after a car crashed in Northamptonshire, throwing a 17 year old back seat passenger into the road.

The crash on the A6003 between Kettering and Corby just before 1am on Tuesday 3 December 2013 has left the 17 year old seriously ill in hospital in Coventry.

Another 17 year old who was driving another car has also been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
