Paul Gascoigne recovering in hospital following car accident

Paul Gascoigne is reported to be in a "comfortable" condition after being involved in a car accident last night according to various media reports.

The accident, involving a Vauxhall Astra, is reported to have happened at about 9.45pm, on the city's Quayside. The car, in which 43-year-old Gascoigne was a passenger, is believed to have left the road before hitting a lamppost next to Newcastle's historic Guildhall, close to the Tyne Bridge.

A Northumbria police spokesman told the Guardian newspaper: "For reasons yet to be established, the car left the road and collided with a lamppost. A female driver and two male passengers were taken to hospital with injuries which were not described as life-threatening.”

"The condition of the two men in hospital has been described as serious but not life-threatening. The woman has been discharged."

A 36-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and bailed pending further inquiries.
