TWO young men were killed last night when their car left the road and hit a tree on the outskirts of Durham City.
The 17-year-old driver and his 18-year-old passenger were both certified dead at the scene of the accident on the A167 road, close to the Cock Of The North roundabout.
Both men were in a Ford Fiesta, which failed to negotiate a left hand bend and crashed shortly after 10pm.
A police investigation is under way and witnesses are asked to call 0191-375 2159.
