An attempted murder inquiry following a collision between a motorbike and a car is still ongoing some eight months later.

Four men were detained and later released by Cleveland Police following an incident last year in Easington Road, Hartlepool, on Thursday, June 23, at around 8.30pm.

One person was taken to hospital after a collision between a motorbike and a black Range Rover near the University Hospital of Hartlepool.
