An investigation is underway this morning, after 4 pedestrians were hit by a car on Saltburn beach.

Police were called at around 8.17pm to reports that pedestrians on and near to the beach had been injured when a blue Audi had left the road and gone onto the beach, near to the Pier.

Two women have been taken to hospital with serious leg injuries, and two people received minor injuries and did not need medical treatment at the scene.

A man in his 70s has been arrested and officers have begun to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The area was cordoned off last night.

Anyone who saw the blue Audi, who witnessed the incident or who may have footage of the incident, is asked to call Cleveland Police on the non-emergency number 101.
