TWO people have died following a crash at a petrol station.
Cops were called to a once-vehicle collision on the A167 at Ferryhill, County Durham at around 1.40am on November 1.
It’s thought the Ford Ka was travelling northbound, from Chilton to Thinford, before it came off the road and hit a BP petrol station forecourt on the opposite side of the carriageway.
Officers from Durham Police as well as North East Ambulance Service, Great North Air Ambulance, and County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service teams all attended.
Despite the best efforts of the ambulance crew, both an adult male and female were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the families have been informed and are being supported by specially trained officers.
The force has appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or has dashcam footage of the vehicle before the collision to contact them.
County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue Service said: “We were called to a road traffic incident in the early hours of 1 November, at 1:41am on Dean Road in Ferryhill.
“We dispatched two fire appliances and two flexi-duty officers to the scene to support emergency service partners from North East Ambulance Service and Durham Police.”
A North East Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called to a road traffic incident early this morning (1 November) at 1:38am on Dean Road in Ferryhill, Durham.
“We dispatched two ambulance crews, one clinical team leader and two HART resources (Hazardous Area Response Team) and were supported by our colleagues at Great North Air Ambulance Service.”
