POLICE are seeking witnesses after a fatal road accident on Christmas Eve.
The accident happened at 10.10pm on the A189 in Cramlington, Northumberland, known locally as The Spine Road.
A Rover 216 was in the outside lane travelling southbound, about a quarter of a mile from the Moor House Farm roundabout, when it was in collision with a moped.
A police spokesman said: "For reasons yet to be established, it collided with the rear of a Guilera moped. The resulting injuries to the rider of the moped proved fatal."
Yesterday, police had still not revealed the identity of the moped rider.
Anyone who witnessed the accident is asked to call Northumberland police on (01661) 872555.
