A spokesman for Northumbria Police said that officers are currently on the scene.

He was unable to provide further details at this time.

One man who lives in the area said: "I got a delivery from a pizza shop and the delivery driver told us about a car being on its roof down the road, so I thought I’m going to go to the shop and have a look.

"I walked down towards the bottom of Gartland Road where the accident has happened.

"I saw two police cars and this car is on the grass on its roof."
