A road was closed this morning after a car collided with two buildings in a village near Lancaster.

A house on Hornby Road in Claughton suffered "significant damage" after the incident on Sunday evening, said Lancashire Police.

The driver received first aid treatment for minor cuts to his hand and a passenger was not injured.

Emergency services were called out just before 8.40pm on Sunday.

The A683 Hornby Road remained closed between Caton and Hornby on Monday morning and diversions were in place, as engineers assessed the damage to the building which had been deemed unsafe.

Motorists were advised to avoid the area.

The Fenwick Arms pub/restaurant on Hornby Road, Claughton, which is close to where the incident happened but was not involved in the crash, was open as normal on Monday morning serving breakfasts to village residents.
