North Yorkshire Police and a Harrogate fire crew were called out on Monday (January 22) at 10.24pm after a blue Ford Ka came to a stop in a field near the Sun Inn on Brame Lane. A male driver and passenger escaped without injury.
While it’s unclear how the car came off the road Fiona Walkinshaw, Washburn Parish Councillor and Sun Inn Landlady, says at least four accidents have occurred on the road previously.
