A teenage boy was taken to hospital after flying over the handlebars of his bike and crashing into railings in Gateshead.
An ambulance was called to the scene at the junction of Saltwell Road and Lobley Hill Road just after 4.30pm on Tuesday.
The boy had suffered injuries to his leg and face after crashing into railings by the side of the road.
