A 53-year-old pedestrian has been taken to hospital after being knocked over by a car in Newcastle.
Emergency crews attended the scene of the incident on the Great North Road between Regent Centre and Gosforth Academy after 12.30pm on Wednesday. A man, aged 53, was knocked over by a car.
The Great North Road was subsequently closed between Regent Centre and Gosforth Academy. The closure led to delays in and around the road with afternoon traffic tailing back as a result.
