Northumbria Police are looking for information about a collision on Dudley Lane in Cramlington yesterday. If you were in the area just before 5pm and have any information or dash cam footage, please contact them. More information below 👇

APPEAL | Were you on Dudley Lane in Cramlington just before 5pm yesterday (Tuesday)? You could help as we investigate a collision in which a woman sustained serious injuries.

It was reported that two vehicles – a grey Nissan Juke and a red Hyundai I10 – had collided.

The female driver of the Hyundai - aged in her 60s - was taken to hospital for treatment of serious injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening. She remains in hospital in a stable condition.

The driver of the Nissan remained at the scene to assist us with our enquiries.

A section of the road was closed in both directions to allow for recovery of the vehicles involved. It later reopened to traffic.

We’re investigating the collision and are appealing to anyone with information to contact us.
