The 35-year-old driver of the Vauxhall was arrested on suspicion of driving without due care and attention and has been released under investigation.

Any witnesses or members of the public who approached the scene at the time of the incident are asked to contact PC Ian Largan from the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit on the non-emergency number 101.

A piece of history that was given to Middlesbrough four decades ago has been loaned back to the donors for their annual conference.

The piece was given in 1976 when the organisation’s held a conference in the town. It was presented to then Civic Mayor Norman Goldie who was also made an honorary Tees Bay Pilot.

For the latest conference in Middlesbrough, current Elected Mayor Dave Budd was invited as guest of honour.
