The force said that a woman was driving a dark grey Range Rover southbound at about 10.50am on Tuesday, November 21 when, for reasons yet to be established, her vehicle was struck to the nearside by a white or cream mid-sized Toyota[2]. This caused the Range Rover to lose control and collide with the central reservation.
The Toyota then left the A1 at the St Leonard’s Lane exit slip road into Morpeth[3]. The woman, aged 39, was left trapped inside her Range Rover – with the vehicle pinned against the crash barrier until emergency services arrived at the scene and were able to free her.
