A ROAD was partially closed following a multi vehicle crash.

The westbound lane of the A181 at Wingate in County Durham was shut after the incident at around 11.10am on Thursday.

A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said: “We believe a Transit van has been towing another Transit van and they have parted company.

“The incident also involved a Corsa, a Jaguar and a Renault. There are no injuries.

“An ambulance was sent to the scene as a precaution, but everyone seems to be okay.”

Police reopened the road following recovery of the vehicles.
