3 men hospitalised in South Shields crash
It happened on Monday evening, and now Police are appealing for information
A police investigation is underway in South Shields, after a serious crash on Monday evening (27th December).
At about 7pm, officers received reports that a blue BMW had collided with a lamp post and tree in the Prince Edward Road area.
A rear seat passenger, who sustained serious injuries, remains in hospital in a stable condition.
The driver and another male occupant were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Sergeant Steve Chappell, of Northumbria Police, said: “This was a serious collision and we want to find out exactly what happened in the moments prior to it occurring.
“We believe the blue BMW was travelling along Prince Edward Road in the direction of Harton before – for reasons to be established – it lost control and crashed.
“I am asking anybody who was driving in the area at that time, or who may have dashcam footage showing a blue BMW being driven along Lizard Lane onto Prince Edward Road, to get in touch.
“Your information could be the crucial part of our investigation – so please take a look and come forward if you can assist us.”
