TWO WOMEN have been taken to hospital with suspected spinal injuries after a car came off a major road out of Blackburn and landed on its roof in a farmer's field.

Police, paramedics and firefighters had to be called to the single-vehicle crash involving a blue Toyota Yaris on the Grane Road, close to Belthorn, at 7.45pm last night.

The car veered down a verge close to the Grey Mare pub and dropped 6 foot down an embankment and landed on its roof, 20 foot away from the road.
