A Newcastle campaigner has described how he feared for his life after a horrific hit and run crash with a lorry near Gosforth.
On Saturday (September 1) evening, Doc Anand was travelling down Kenton Lane when a HGV crashed into his car before it sped off- leaving the former GP fearing for his life.
Doc described hearing a large 'crunching sound' as his car was turned in the opposite direction by the force of the crash with his vehicle then dragged backwards in a terrifying scene. The Saab lorry then made off from the scene without stopping.
