Police are appealing for witnesses after a suspected hit and run took place in Cramlington at the weekend.

Two people were hospitalised following the incident, which occurred around 9.30pm on Saturday, October 7 on the A189 near The Three Horseshoes pub.

It is believed the injured man, who has since been discharged from hospital, and the injured woman, who remains in hospital in a stable condition, were knocked off their motorcycle by a van.
