A girl of 17 left critically injured after a car carrying two other teenagers spun out of control has died in hospital, police said.

She was a passenger in a Vauxhall Corsa travelling from Sandy Balls holiday park on the B3078 towards Fordingbridge, Hampshire, when its 19-year-old driver lost control.

The car rolled, leaving the girl - who was a front seat passenger - with life threatening injuries following the crash just before 11.30pm on Thursday.

Last night the girl, who has not been named but was from Fordingbridge, died at Salisbury District Hospital, a Hampshire Police spokesman said.

The rear seat passenger, a 17-year-old unnamed boy, sustained serious spinal injuries and remains in Southampton General Hospital.

Police appealed for anyone with information to call Pc Simon Bradbury on 0845 045 45 45, quoting Operation Dunwich, or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
