A passenger was killed when a taxi crashed into a bus stop early today.

The man, in his mid-20s, was being taken from Newcastle to Consett in County Durham when the car left the road just before 5am.

It is understood the victim was thrown from the private hire Peugeot.

The taxi driver, who suffered serious leg injuries, was cut free from his wrecked vehicle by firefighters and taken by ambulance to the University Hospital of North Durham in Durham City.

The passenger was Andi Rowland (andi1976 on gaydar) pictured below, a regular on the Newcastle scene, for those of you who knew him i'm sure you will join me in sending your condolences to his family and friends.

It always saddens me when I hear of such tragedy. Whilst I was only in his company in the pubs a couple of times, he was always freindly, down to earth and just great guy to know!

It was always great being in gaydar chat when he was on with his *bounces*!

RIP Andi, or Drew as I knew him as.
