A 10-year-old boy was a passenger in a Seat Leon that struck an Audi Q5 and a Jaguar F Pace on the A701 between Broughton and Blyth Bridge at around 12.15pm on Friday. The male drivers of the Seat and the Jaguar sustained serious injuries. A teenage boy from the Seat and a woman from the Audi were hospitalised. The road remained closed for roughly seven hours before reopening at 7.10pm.

Motorists in the area are being asked to review their dash-cam footage for relevant material.

Police have released no details of any injuries to the Audi's driver.
