Police seek "vital witnesses" to fatal crash
Police are looking for two drivers who may have witnessed a crash in which a man died.
Ian Brown, 45, was driving a Suzuki Swift along the A693 near Beamish on 9th February, just before midday. His car was involved in a collision with four other vehicles.
Durham Police officers want to speak to two people who may have seen what happened:
- Male driver of a blue car, possibly a hatchback, heading east towards Chester-le-Street. The car was driving behind the cars involved in the crash and turned and drove away.
- Driver of a small silver car, similar to a Citreon Berlingo, which was heading west towards Stanley.
Neither of the drivers is suspected of involvement in the crash, but police say they are "potentially vital" witnesses.
