Car left on its side after crash near Loftus as person taken to hospital with head wound
A person has been left with a head wound after a crash near Loftus[1]. Police and paramedics were called to the A174[2] on Saturday, around 11.35am, after reports that a car had ended up on its side. The road was reportedly closed off following the incident, just near the Loftus Cemetary.
AA Traffic News showed slow traffic at the time between Loftus and Easington[3], but this is understood to have eased by around 1.30pm. The North East Ambulance Service confirmed it sent one paramedic crew to the scene, where one patient was treated for a head wound before being taken to hospital. The condition of the injured person, nor how many vehicles were involved in the incident, is not currently known. Cleveland Fire Brigade[4] confirmed it was not in attendance.
A spokesman for the North East Ambulance Service said: "We received a call at 11.35am today (January 13) to reports of a car on its side on the A174 near Loftus. We dispatched a paramedic crew who treated one patient for a head wound before conveying to hospital." Teesside Live has contacted Cleveland Police[5] for further information.
