Appeal following A19 collision
The collision happened on Wednesday morning (20th July) on the A19 northbound
At 9.37am that day a Ford Focus was stationary with its hazard warning lights activated in lane one near Elwick. A single female occupant was in the driver’s seat.
A Renault HGV cement mixer which was travelling in lane one collided with the rear of the Focus, causing serious damage.
The road was closed for some time to allow emergency services to deal with the incident.
Fire Brigade colleagues extracted the Focus’ driver, in her 40s, who was taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment to spinal injuries.
The HGV driver, aged 40, sustained bruising to his shoulder and elbow and was seen at hospital but not kept in.
Enquiries are ongoing and we would appeal in particular for anyone with dash cam footage from the area at the time to contact Cleveland Police on the 101 number quoting ref 126530
