County Durham motorcyclist taken to hospital after collision outside Easington takeaway

A teenage motorcyclist has been taken to hospital following a three vehicle collision outside a takeaway.

Just after 6pm yesterday police were called to a collision involving a silver Ford Mondeo, a red Honda motorbike and a grey Peugeot 3008 outside Burger8, on Seaside Lane, in Easington.

It is believed the driver of the Mondeo has been turning into Cemetery Road when the male motorcyclist has had to swerve to avoid a collision and in turn collided with the Peugeot which was parked outside Burger8.

He was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham by officers after suffering an injury to his hand and forearm, resulting in the loss of the tip of his finger.

The driver of the Mondeo initially stopped but then left the scene without providing any details. And now Durham Constabulary is appealing for the Mondeo driver to come forward or anyone with information that could help identify him to get in touch.

The driver is believed to be a man and was wearing a grey hoodie and dark-coloured trousers.

Anyone with information should email emma.ellington@durham.police.uk or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
