Road policing officers have said it is a miracle that no-one was killed after a driver left the road near Dunsdale yesterday morning.

The black Jaguar vehicle ended up in a field after leaving the road close to the top of Yearby Bank.

The male driver was breathilised at the scene and further blood tests were also taken in hospital.

It is understood that analysis will tell officers if the driver was over the drink-drive limit within a week. 

Police say that if the driver was under the influence, then this is wholly unacceptable and every effort will be made to present the court with evidence to result in the strongest possible sentence.

Police have arrested a man who drove away from police after tracking his vehicle down to Lackenby.

Neighbourhood police officers in Redcar have arrested two people who had stolen items from a shop on the High Street.
