Police are investigating a two vehicle collision in Middlesbrough last night (Friday 15th October), that saw five people taken to hospital.

One of those was a two-year-old boy, who has since been discharged. None of the injuries are considered life-threatening.

The collision, around 9.30pm, at the junction of Ormesby Road and Sandringham Road, involved a red Renault Clio and black Volkswagen T-cross.

Appealing for witnesses, Cleveland Police added in a statement: 'A 26-year-old man, the driver of the Clio, and a 52-year-old woman, the driver of the T-Cross, were taken to James Cook University Hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.
