ONE person has been taken to hospital following two crashes on the A69 this morning.
Emergency services responded to reports of a two-vehicle collision on the A69 at Corbridge at around 9am.
Police said while officers were in attendance, a car collided with a fire engine which was at the scene.
A North East Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We were called at 08:59am to a road traffic collision on the A69 Eastbound near Corbridge Interchange. We sent two emergency ambulances and one patient was taken to Hexham General."
The eastbound carriageway was closed after the incident, bringing traffic to a standstill, but the road has since re-opened.
