A TEENAGER chipped a tooth after losing control of his car on a busy trunk road in Teesside.

The 19-year-old man was driving along the road in Dormanstown, Redcar, at 7.45pm last Tuesday when he lost control of his blue Peugeot near the ICI roundabout. The car veered onto the other side of the road and crashed into a lamppost.

It is believed a blue Renault Clio was also involved, but did not stop at the scene.

Anyone with information is asked to call PC Paul Dawson, of Cleveland Police road traffic unit, on (01642) 301552.
