A YOUNG man badly hurt in a road accident is still critically ill.

But the 20-year-old, from Honley, is said to be stable at Leeds General Infirmary today.

He suffered serious head injuries when a Mini Cooper he was driving crashed on Huddersfield Road, just after the Healey House bends between Netherton and Meltham, at 7.35pm on Tuesday.

The man, who has not been named, was thrown out of the car, which then careered down a 25ft banking.
