The Seat Exeo then veered over onto the opposite side of the carriageway and collided head on with the Ford KA.

It is believed the driver of the Mini Cooper and two males from the Ford Transit flat bed unattached the vehicle from the flatbed before making off, abandoning the Mini Cooper at the scene.

Occupants of the Ford KA and the Seat Exeo suffered a number of injuries and were taken to Sunderland Royal hospital.

The road was closed from approximately 5.15pm until around 8.15pm to allow for recovery of the vehicles.

Anyone who witnessed the collision, saw the vehicles prior to the collision or anyone with dashcam footage of the incident is asked to call 101 quoting incident number 311 of December 4.
