THE A16 at North Thoresby, near Louth, was closed for several hours on Sunday night after a serious crash left two drivers in hospital with injuries.
Lincolnshire Police say they were alerted to the smash at 6.32pm on Sunday, with reports that one of the vehicles was on fire.
It transpired that a silver Toyota Celica had collided with a Mercedes-Benz van on the main road which links Louth to Grimsby.
