Police officers are appealing for witnesses
A man has been arrested following a reported road rage incident which has resulted in a car colliding with a tree.
The incident is reported to have taken place just after 7.30am today (June 22) on the northbound slip road of the A1(M) at the junction 62 turn-off for Durham and the A690 to Sunderland.
In a post on Durham Constabulary's Facebook page a spokesperson said: “The collision involved a white Ford Transit van and a Hyundai Tuscon. The two vehicles appear to have been involved in a road rage incident with each other before the van has collided with the car which has then hit a tree.
“Thankfully no one is believed to have been seriously injured, but officers want to speak to any potential witnesses who were driving Northbound between 7.15am and 7.30am.
“The driver of the van was arrested at the scene on suspicion of dangerous driving and has since been released under investigation whilst enquiries continue.”
