Tyne Tees Angel of the North

There are heavy delays and queuing traffic on the A1 Western Bypass.

It's after a multi-vehicle collision on the Southbound carriageway near the Angel of The North.

The pileup happened at A6127 Newcastle Bank / A167 Durham Road / B1296 Long Bank, close to the Bowes Incline.

There are traffic jams to Chowdene Bank / Kingsway South at the Coalhouse Roundabout.

A man has been charged over the death of Ryan Charlton, who was involved in a fatal road collision near the Angel of the North on April 19th.

Ryan was 23 and from the Low Fell area of Gateshead. He was known as "Curly" to his friends.

Mohammed Abdul-Wahid, 31, of Cambridge Road, Middlesbrough, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop at an accident. He is due to appear at Gateshead Magistrates' Court on October 29th.

Gateshead Council did not approve a light projection onto the Angel of the North, which a supermarket said took place on Friday night.

Morrisons said the image of a baguette and the words "I'm cheaper" appeared on the artwork.

A spokesperson said it was not approached and did not give permission for the advert, and does not approve any lighting of the structure, even floodlights. A Gateshead Council spokesman said:

"The Angel has become a much-loved and iconic symbol of Gateshead and the wider North East.

"Many goods and services have and want to be profiled alongside it, and there is a filming process in place to work with organisations to do this, although this does not include lighting the Angel in any way.

"It is disappointing this process does not appear to have been followed."

A member of the public has been in touch with ITV News Tyne Tees to say he saw a supermarket advert, which was reportedly projected onto the Angel of the North in Gateshead on Friday evening, amid speculation that the image released by the supermarket could have been faked.

Ian Tate took the photograph below (on a time-lapse). The supermarket, Morrisons, has also insisted the projection did happen, and the images are genuine.

Gateshead Council has said the supermarket advert reportedly projected onto the Angel of the North was "impossible", because the light projection would be logistically very difficult and no one appears to have seen it.

However, the supermarket involved, Morrisons, said it did go ahead, on Friday evening, and the photo they have released, below, is a genuine image.
