A cyclist has died after suffering serious injuries in a crash earlier this month.
At about 11.40pm on Wednesday, May 3, a Mercedes minibus and a man on a bicycle collided on the A694 Lockhaugh Road at the junction with Sherburn Park Drive, in the Rowlands Gill area of Gateshead. The man on the bike, aged 44, suffered life-threatening injuries in the collision.
He was taken to hospital for treatment where he stayed for more than two weeks but he sadly died on Sunday. The man’s next of kin are being supported by specialist officers from Northumbria Police at this time.
