A major road in our area had to be closed for a number of hours following a multi-car collision.

Emergency services were called to the A174 near Eston on Tuesday shortly after 7pm after receiving reports of a three-car pile up on the westbound carriageway.

Police and paramedics quickly arrived at the scene, where officers were forced to close the road to motorists while the cars involved in the smash were recovered from the road.

Paramedics from the North East Ambulance Service dispatched an ambulance crew to the crash, where one person was treated but discharged at the scene.

No one was seriously injured.

The scheme was set up to recognise organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.
