Following an evening of travel disruption as the region was battered by strong winds and rain, the North East Ambulance Service have confirmed they were sent to deal with a road traffic collision on the A19 near Durham.

A North East Ambulance Service spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of a road traffic collision on the junction of the A19 and the A690 at 4.48pm today (November 2). We dispatched one ambulance crew but no-one required hospital treatment."
