A man is being treated for a head injury after he collided with a car in Redcar.
Emergency services were called at 7.17am this morning after reports of the collision on Corporation Road.
A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said the man is currently being treated for a head injury.
Ian Telford, 36, was just driving home from the SSI steel plant, where he works as an electrician, when a man stepped out in front of him.
He said: "I came out of the garage through the lights and the lad just walked straight in front of me - it was almost like he was breaking into a run.
"I slammed my brakes on and stopped almost instantly but he came straight onto the bonnet and hit the windscreen.
"I was in shock after it happened."
Mr Telford, who lives in Redcar, described the casualty as a man in his early 20s.
Police had closed Corporation Road to traffic between Kirkleatham Lane and Mersey Road after the crash took place at around 7.17am.
They re-opened the road at around 8.40am.
Anyone who witnessed the collision can contact PC Mo Rashad on the non-emergency number 101.
