POLICE are appealing for witnesses after receiving reports of a collision allegedly caused by "dangerous driving" in Northumberland and Tyne and Wear.
On Thursday (January 8) at around 6.10pm, Northumbria Police say they received a report that two vehicles, a white 4x4 Range Rover and a grey 4x4 Range Rover–type vehicle, were being "driven dangerously" along the A695 between Prudhoe and Crawcrook.
It is reported that the grey vehicle attempted to overtake the white vehicle before colliding with it, forcing the white vehicle into the opposite carriageway, where it left the road via a hill.
A short time later, at approximately 6.30pm, a second report was received reporting that two vehicles were racing each other along the same stretch of road before colliding. Police say no vehicles were located at the scene.
A third call was made at around 7pm, reporting that a grey 4x4–type vehicle had been travelling at speed and driving erratically near the Greenside Social Club in Ryton.
No one is reported to have been injured in any of the incidents, police have said.
"Enquiries have been ongoing since the report was first made, and today (January 20) officers are appealing for anyone with information or dashcam footage to get in touch," said a Northumbria Police spokesperson.
"Anyone with any information should send a direct message to Northumbria Police on social media, use the live chat function or report forms on the Force’s website.
"Members of the public can also submit dashcam footage through our dedicated portal here: Submit your dashcam footage | Northumbria Police
