Person taken to hospital after motorbike and Range Rover crash closes busy Thornaby street

One person was taken to hospital after a motorbike crash closed a Thornaby street.

Police and paramedics were called to Cunningham Drive, just off the A1045, around 6.30pm on Tuesday after a vehicle and motorcycle collided. A cordon was erected across the busy road as police used cones to block the scene off to motorists.

Pictures from the aftermath show a damaged red motorbike and black Range Rover, with parts of the bike seen littered across the road. The North East Ambulance Service has now confirmed that one person was taken to the James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough, for treatment.
