A woman was in a critical condition after her car left a rural road and rolled over.
The 19-year-old woman was left with a serious head injury following the crash on the A414, between Ongar and North Weald shortly before 7.50am on Sunday (May 29).
Essex Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which involved a silver Vauxhall Corsa driven by the woman.
An 18-year-old man, her passenger, was also treated at the scene by ambulance paramedics.
The driver was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow, before being transferred to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge for treatment for her head injury.
The man did not need hospital treatment.
The road was closed for one-and-a-half hours while emergency services dealt with the incident, police carried out investigations and the vehicle was recovered.
Anyone who saw what happened or saw the Corsa before the crash should call the Chigwell Road Policing Unit on 101.
