One person has been killed and several others injured after two fuel tankers and up to 60 cars were involved in a series of crashes in thick fog.
The accidents on the A19 in Country Durham late last night left a scene of 'absolute devastation' according to emergency workers who rushed to the scene.
The first crash saw two petrol tankers, another lorry and a car collide on the southbound route near Peterlee shortly before 10.15pm.
