Two young women have died after a car crashed into a wall in the New Forest.


The women, both 19, were passengers in the vehicle which crashed in Lyndhurst in the New Forest around midnight on Saturday morning, Hampshire Police said.

The 21-year-old male driver and another 19-year-old female passenger are being treated in hospital, with police saying their injuries were not life threatening.

A Hampshire Police spokesman said: "A member of the public contacted Hampshire Constabulary at midnight this morning when a car collided with a wall on Gosport Lane.

"Two of the passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.''

The road was closed overnight but has now reopened, he added.
