A MAN has died after being critically injured in a road accident three weeks ago.
Thomas Wake, 63, of Parkside, Seaham, is believed to have got off a bus and started crossing the B1404 Station Road, Seaham, when he was struck by a Nissan Micra.
He was taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital with head injuries and underwent emergency surgery.
Mr Wake died in hospital on Saturday.
The 19-year-old driver of the Nissan, which was travelling south-east on the road when the accident happened, was unhurt.
