TWO teenagers' loss could be someone else's gain after they were forced to cancel a sunshine break.

Gemma McCaskill and Simone Gaddas were due to fly out on holiday to Tenerife this Sunday.

But the pair, who both live in Darlington, were involved in a car crash earlier this week which saw 19-year-old Gemma in hospital with a badly broken foot.

The accident, which happened on the Urlay Nook Road, between Darlington and Eaglescliffe, means the teenagers can no longer go on holiday and they have been told that they cannot get a refund on the £380 they have each paid.

But Gemma and Simone are hoping to recover some of the money by offering the holiday to people in the North-East.

Gemma's mother, Lindsay, said: "They don't expect to get the full amount for the holiday, but if someone is prepared to make a reasonable offer, they would be happy to give their tickets away."

If anyone is interested they can contact Mrs McCaskill on (01325) 281508.
