A woman died in a three-vehicle crash on the A1 near Felton in Northumberland on Sunday, 18 October, shortly after 12.15pm.

The female driver of the Clio was pronounced dead at the scene.

Emergency services attended the scene. The male driver of the Qashqai sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital for treatment before being discharged.
