A man has died following a collision in Darlington this morning.
Police were called at around 2am today (November 6) after an LDV van collided with a tree on Woodland Road, near the junction with West Crescent.
Emergency services attended but sadly the driver, a man in his forties, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other vehicles were involved in the collision.
The road was closed while investigators worked at the scene, but has since reopened.
Anybody who witnessed the collision, or who has dashcam footage of the van, is asked to contact the Serious Collision Investigation Unit via [email protected] quoting incident number 28 of November 6.
