Two men are due to appear in court in connection with a suspected hit and run which left an elderly man seriously injured in Gateshead.
An investigation has been ongoing after it was reported that an 85-year-old man was struck by a car when he was crossing the road on Woodburn at around 7.30pm on February 25.
The elderly man suffered serious injuries as a result and the vehicle involved had already left the scene prior to emergency services arriving.
