THE icy conditions resulted in Cleveland Police attending three overturned vehicle incidents in a matter of hours.
The first happened on Low Lane near the Sporting Lodge, Low Lane, Stainton village, near Middlesbrough, just after 6.05am this morning (Monday, December 29) and the male driver was uninjured.
Another, involving a black Corsa with a female driver, happened at 6.50am on the A689 to Hartlepool, near Sappers Corner. Damage was caused to a farm’s fence and the driver was taken to the University Hospital of North Tees to be checked over although she is not believed to have suffered serious injuries.
The most recent, which happened at 12.10pm in the car park of the Hollywood Bowl and cinema at Teesside Park, involved a black Micra and the occupants are believed to be unharmed and out of the vehicle.
A spokeswoman said: "We would like to remind drivers that despite sunnier conditions today, there is still a lot of ice on roads and motorists should adapt their driving techniques accordingly."
