Once freed, the man was taken to Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre by land ambulance with the air ambulance, which landed on nearby Nabbs Park, ultimately not needed.

At the time, the man’s injuries were feared to be life-threatening but he has since made a steady recovery, up to the point where he has now been released from hospital.

Also at the time, police arrested a 15-year-old boy on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, taking a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent and driving without a licence and without insurance.

A police spokesman said: “The investigation is still ongoing and the 15-year-old arrested at the time has had his bail extended.

"The 18-year-old man injured in the incident has been released from hospital and is recovering from his injuries, which aren't thought to be life-altering.”

Anyone with any information on the incident who has not yet come forward should call the police on 101, quoting incident 193 of 16 January 2022, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
