Emergency services were called to Saltburn beach yesterday evening after four people were injured by a car.

Police were called at around 8.17pm to the promenade at Saltburn following reports that pedestrians on and near to the beach had been injured when a blue Audi had left the road and gone onto the beach, near to the Pier.

Two women were taken to hospital with serious leg injuries, and two people received minor injuries and did not need medical treatment at the scene.

A man in his 70s has been arrested and officers have begun to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The area has been cordoned off and investigations are at an early stage.

Anyone who saw the blue Audi, who witnessed the incident or who may have footage of the incident, is asked to call Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.

A country road near Stokesley had to be shut yesterday due to a two-vehicle crash.

Police were called to Seamer Hill between Stokesley Road and Seamer yesterday following the incident, which happened at around 8.40am.

A badly damaged car and a van were blocking the road.

Police officers were also diverting motorists away from the area.

It is not known whether anyone was seriously injured in the crash.

The volunteers of the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team were called into action in our area on Good Friday to assist an injured mountain biker.

The team received a request to assist the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust as they were en route to a report of an injured mountain biker near to Great Ayton.

A Yorkshire Air Ambulance helicopter was also attending.

Upon arrival it was apparent that the casualty’s injuries, although serious, were not felt to be as bad as initially feared and as the location was reasonably accessible, he was left in the care of the ambulance service.

The team members were then able to stand-down and cancel those Team members still en route.
