Two people have been taken to hospital following a collision in Northumberland on Monday morning.
Shortly after 7.45am, emergency services received reports of a two-vehicle collision on the A197 Morpeth Road. The road remained closed in both directions between Front Street, Pegswood, and the Guidepost turn off while police and ambulance crews attended the scene.

Both patients were then taken to Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital.
