A MAN badly injured in a car crash last week has lost his fight for life.
Edward Sharp, 23, was critically injured when the Peugeot 306 he was driving collided with a pick-up truck on Long Lane, between Todhills and Binchester on Thursday February 7.
He was air-lifted from the scene of the accident, not far from his home in Newfield and taken to Newcastle General Hospital where he died on Thursday evening.
The van driver suffered chest and whiplash injuries which were not thought to be serious.
An inquest into Mr Sharp's death is expected to open sometime next week.
