Sky News was forced to cut its live broadcast from Middlesbrough when a journalist was accosted by members of the public over the A66 crash which killed several people, including two police officers.

Sky journalist Shingi Mararike was reporting from the inquest of five young men who were killed in the crash on August 22, when a member of the public started shouting over him.

Mr Mararike says: “We are going to have to stop this broadcast. We are being accosted by members of the public.”
