Officers are particularly keen to hear from anyone who has dash cam footage. Sergeant Dave Roberts, of Northumbria Police’s Roads Policing team, said: “This is a tragic case in which a man has sadly lost his life.
“Our thoughts remain with the friends and family of the man as they try to come to terms with the loss of their loved one. Our investigation is in its early stages and we are doing all we can to better understand what led to the vehicle leaving the road.
“I encourage anyone with any information – no matter how insignificant they think it may be – to come forward.”
