A man has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after a two vehicle collision in Sunderland.

Two other occupants of the BMW suffered minor injuries.

The incident happened at around 12.20am on North Bridge Street.

A blue BMW 320 Coupe collided with a parked Renault Clio outside the Fona Pizza shop.

Inspector Matt Sykes, of Northumbria Police’s motor patrols department, said:

“This is clearly a serious incident and we are determined to find out what happened immediately before the collision took place.

“I am now asking anybody who was in that area in the early hours of this morning who either witnessed the collision itself or believes they saw a blue BMW travelling nearby to get in touch.

“Please also check any dashcam footage and get in touch if you see anything of interest that may assist our enquiries.”
