Police are appealing for information or dash cam footage after a pedestrian sustained serious injuries in a collision in Eston.

The 54-year-old man was walking westbound on the High Street, near the Miners Arms Pub, at around 9.45pm on Monday night when he was in collision with a Nissan X Trail which was being driven in a westbound direction

The man sustained serious head injuries and was taken by ambulance to James Cook University Hospital where he remains receiving treatment.

Officers are appealing for any direct witnesses to the collision, or drivers who were at the location and who may have dash cam footage to get in touch on the non-emergency number 101.

In particular, police are urging the driver of a small white car - possibly a Fiat Punto or similar - to contact them as the driver may have useful information or footage to assist ongoing enquiries.

An exciting vision to create a service complex on the edge of the Teesworks site has been unveiled.

A 160-bed hotel, two parades of shops and a petrol station will all be part of a new services zone near the Trunk Road, at Lackenby.

It will also feature a convenience store of around 4,500sq ft, a family pub and restaurant, and two other freestanding restaurant units. 

Outline plans will be submitted to Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council in the coming weeks.

The scheme will provide shops, services and attractions for visitors and for nearby Grangetown, Teesville, and South Bank.

It will also serve thousands of construction workers due to come to Teesworks as work gathers pace on major projects in the coming years.

Police officers from Dormanstown will be available later today for members of the public to discuss any concerns.

Officers from the Redcar and Cleveland Neighbourhood Team will be at the Corus Club in Dormanstown from 1pm today to have a cuppa and a chat with local residents. 

It's an opportunity to raise any antisocial or community safety concerns you may have or to report an incident or a crime.

All members of the local community are invited to attend.
