The father of one of the teenagers killed in the A66 crash has been charged with assaulting a mourner at his son’s funeral.

A number of schools in Middlesbrough are closing early on Friday as the first funeral for one of five young men killed in a head-on crash on the A66 takes place.

A Middlesbrough MP has condemned the violence gripping the town as ’terrorism’, with residents left ’trapped in their homes’ after nine people were killed and 19 arrests were made in less than a week.

Hordes of balaclava-clad youths lit flares and set off balloons in a "vigil" for the dead A66 "joyriders" - just as mourners silently prayed for the two PCs killed in the same crash.

The five people who died in a collision with a police car have been named by police after driving the "wrong way" down the A66 near Middlesbrough.
