I guess this is more for the north east members or anyone who is travelling on the A19 uptowards Newcastle or Southbound to york!
Whilst driving back to Newcastle from Hull yesterday my car was shot at by a group of chavs causing the passenger side window to explodeand me get shot in the leg (which was pretty painful) and get my face cut of shards of glass flying about.
obviously i immediately called the police and traffic were there v quick and got my car took home and me sorted at the hospital! The police said this was the second time they had reports of youths firing a weapon from this particular slip road (Hartlepool and Seal Sands A689 turn-off incidently) so just a casual word of warning for anyone in the area over the coming weeks because it was a pretty scary experience
