The incident happened in Bideford Gardens, Whitley Bay.

Emergency crews have been dealing with countless incidents across the North East as the region takes a battering from the snow and wind.

An amber warning remains is in place for the area until 10am on Friday, which more snow expected. A yellow warning is then in place from midnight until late Saturday night.
