POLICE are appealing for witnesses to an accident in which a 21-year-old man was killed at Winston near Barnard Castle late last night.
The driver, who is not being named until all his family have been informed, died when his car hit the parapet of a bridge over the River Tees. Police said he appeared to have lost control of the vehicle on a left hand bend.
The B6274 road was closed for five hours and traffic was diverted.
Any witnesses have been asked to call 0845 6060365 and ask for PC Ian Haigh.
