A WOMAN who received life-changing injuries after her car crashed into a railway bridge near Wareham will not leave hospital for several weeks, said a Dorset Police spokesperson.
Emergency services were contacted at around 12.10pm last Saturday, October 11, when the crash happened on Grange Road, causing the woman to be airlifted to Southampton General Hospital with multiple injuries.
Initially, her condition was described by Dorset Police as life-threatening but this was later updated to life-changing.
Today a spokesperson for Dorset Police said that the woman is now stable but is ‘likely to be in hospital for many weeks to come’.
The car that the woman, who is believed to be in her 50s and from the Poole area, was travelling in, a black Alfa Romeo Mito, was heading towards Stoborough at the time of the incident, when it hit the railway bridge.
Grange Road was shut off for several hours by Dorset Police while emergency services attended the scene.
Witnesses and anyone with information should contact Dorset Police on 101, quoting incident number 202:11.
