A TEESSIDE man has died following a two-car smash in North Yorkshire.
The motorist - who has not been named - is understood to have suffered a heart attack, while driving on the A172 road, near Stokesley.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: "It is thought he may have been taken ill just before the car veered across the road and collided with an oncoming Peugeot 405."
The man, who was in his mid-fifties, died minutes later in Middlesbrough General Hospital.
A woman travelling with him received minor injuries and was in shock.
The driver of the Peugeot was unhurt, but his female passenger suffered minor injuries. Both are from Swainby, North Yorkshire.
North Yorkshire Police said last night the dead man's identity was being withheld until all his relatives had been informed
