Overview
- Durham Police shut Stockton Road in both directions between the Graham Way roundabout and Station Road following a late‑afternoon incident near the Esso station and Asda Express.
- NEAS said crews were dispatched just after 4:50pm, including a paramedic ambulance, a rapid response doctor, a clinical team leader, a specialist paramedic and a HART unit.
- Officers advised the closure would remain in place for some time, with diversions causing heavy traffic on routes such as The Avenue and Westlea Road.
- A police cordon covered the petrol station forecourt where forensic teams were seen, and a smaller cordon near The Mallard Pub marked damage to a wall.
- A submitted photo showed a smashed window at the Asda Express, and authorities have not released details on any casualties or the exact circumstances.
