Two residents die after car hits their care home

Two care home residents, a woman in her 90s and a woman in her 80s, died on Thursday, it was revealed yesterday.

At around 9.35pm on Wednesday, Northumbria Police officers engaged in a pursuit with a blue BMW car on the A1231 eastbound in Sunderland, with the vehicle reportedly having been stolen from Fenham in Newcastle just 15 minutes earlier.

Five minutes later, following a short police pursuit, the car collided with the Highcliffe Care Home on Whitchurch Road in Witherwack, causing structural damage to the building.
