The family of a young driver who lost his life in a Gateshead collision have paid a heartfelt tribute to the "caring young man with everything to live for".
Shortly after 4am on Saturday, May 7, police received a report of an overturned vehicle on the Lobley Hill footbridge of the roundabout above the A1. Officers and emergency services attended the scene and found the driver, Mark Hoult, trapped inside.
The 23-year-old was freed from the car and taken to hospital where he later sadly died from his injuries. On Wednesday, his family paid tribute to the Burnopfield man and thanked those who tried to save his life.
