Officers are appealing for witnesses to come forward following a collision in Northumberland.
Just after 10am on Friday (17 October), police received a report of a two-car collision on the A1 at Ellingham.
It was reported that a black Suzuki Swift car was travelling northbound when it was struck by a grey VW Golf which was travelling south.
Four people – the two occupants of the Suzuki and two in the Golf – were taken to hospital for treatment of injuries which are not believed to be life-threatening.
A section of the road was closed in both directions for several hours to allow for recovery of the vehicles involved and has since re-opened.
Officers are appealing to any witnesses who saw what happened to contact them.
Anyone with information should send Northumbria Police a DM on social media or use the live chat and report forms on the Force’s website.
For those unable to contact police via the above ways, call 101.
