Three close relatives of Sir Alex Ferguson are recovering in hospital following a serious road crash.
Nadine Ferguson, 30, who is separated from Manchester United manager Sir Alex's son Darren, was trapped in her car along with children Charlie, 10, and six-year-old Grace.
Firefighters had to free the family from the wreckage of their Vauxhall Corsa following the head-on collision with another car near their home in Cheshire on Tuesday morning.
Mrs Ferguson was said to be in a serious but comfortable condition after she was taken to Manchester's Wythenshawe Hospital by air ambulance.
Grace suffered minor injuries and is expected to be released from Leighton Hospital in Crewe after being kept in overnight for observation.
Charlie, Mrs Ferguson's son from a previous relationship, underwent surgery on Tuesday night at Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. He is described as in a serious but stable condition.
Cheshire Police would not say what injuries were suffered by the family.
A spokeswoman said: "A 30-year-old woman was airlifted to Wythenshawe Hospital where she remains in a stable condition after suffering serious injuries. The two children were taken by road ambulance to Leighton Hospital. The girl had suffered minor injuries and was detained for observation.
"The boy suffered more serious injuries, his condition this morning is stable."
Mrs Ferguson's black Vauxhall Corsa was in collision with a Ford Fiesta in Trap Street, Lower Withington, Macclesfield, at around 8.25am on Tuesday. The Fiesta driver, a 17-year-old man, was taken to hospital with leg injuries and was in a stable condition.
