Police appeal for dashcam footage of multi-vehicle crash on A167 Central Motorway in Newcastle

Police are appealing for dashcam footage of a multi-vehicle crash on the Central Motorway which left one person requiring hospital treatment.

The  A167(M) was closed  in both directions at the junction with Claremont Road after three vehicles heading south collided just after 5.30pm on Thursday, September 12.

Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to the scene after one vehicle hit the central reservation.

One of the vehicles was also reported to have overturned in the multi-car smash involving a red Mini Cooper, a white Volkswagen Tiguan and a blue Vauxhall Corsa.

One person was taken to hospital by ambulance and it is believed they suffered a broken wrist.

The collision caused huge rush hour delays, with traffic backed up to the city centre.

Officers are currently carrying out enquiries to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and are now keen for anyone who was travelling in the area at the time, and who may have dashcam footage of the collision, to come forward.

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 884 12/09/19 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
