A MAN has died after his van was in collision with an overtaking car.
The crash happened just after 10pm, on Friday, as the 57-year-old, of Hemlington, Middlesbrough, was travelling north along Hemlington Lane, Hemlington, in his Ford Fiesta van.
The collision with a BMW, which was overtaking a lorry, took place 200m north of the junction with Stainton Way.
A Vauxhall Cavalier following the van was also involved in the crash.
Firefighters cut three casualties from their vehicles. The van driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
The BMW driver, a 21-year-old man from Cumbria, was arrested, and is helping police with their inquiries.
Police are appealing for the driver of the lorry, which may have foreign plates, and any witnesses to call (01642) 301558.
