A 23-YEAR-OLD man injured in a crash on Sunday night was last night described as stable.

Both the man's legs were broken in the incident, on the A167 at Chester Moor, near Chester-le-Street, County Durham.

He was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham, in Durham.

The man, from the Washington area, was driving a Diahatsu vehicle, which came off the road and hit a lamppost.
