It happened on Little Coates Road at the junction of Broadway around 01:30 when a black Honda CBR collided with a red Vauxhall Corsa.

A 17-year-old and a 16-year-old boy were also taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Earlier this year, the proposal was met with criticism by the Lincolnshire-based artist John Byford.

The results of a public consultation have also revealed 75% of respondents want to keep the gallery open.

Despite the outcome, the authority say closure is still the preferred option with a final decision being made on 4 September.
