Two killed in Northumberland car crash
Police are appealing for information
Two people died in a car crash in Northumberland during the early hours of Saturday morning.
Northumbria Police says it received reports of a two-vehicle collision on the A1 at the junction for Wandylaw, north of Alnwick, shortly before 4am on the 30th May.
The force says they heard a a silver Nissan Juke was travelling southbound when, for reasons currently unknown, it collided with a blue Vauxhall Corsa travelling in the opposite direction.
The drivers of both vehicles - a woman in her 50s from the Juke and a man in his 40s from the Corsa - were pronounced dead at the scene.
Two passengers in the Juke - a woman in her 20s and a secondary-school aged boy – as well as a female passenger from the Corsa in her 20s, were all taken to hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
A section of the A1 in both directions between Ellingham and Purdy Lodge was closed for around ten hours, but the road has since reopened.
Police are keen to hear from anyone with CCTV or dashcam footage of the moments leading up to the collision, or anyone who witnessed anything.
