    Ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne is in a "serious but not life-threatening" condition in hospital after a car crash in Newcastle upon Tyne.

    The incident, involving a Vauxhall Astra, happened on Sunday at 2145 BST at Sandhill, on the city's Quayside.

    The car, in which Gascoigne was a passenger, is thought to have left the road and hit a nearby signpost.

    A 36-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.

    A spokesperson for Newcastle General Hospital, where the former footballer and another man are being treated, described the condition of the pair as "serious but not life-threatening".

    The female driver of the car was also taken to the hospital but has since been discharged.

    North East Ambulance Service confirmed that a passer-by had called them to the incident on Sunday evening.

    Four ambulances were sent to assist the driver and three passengers.

    The scene where the dark blue Astra crashed is next to Newcastle's Guildhall and close to the Tyne Bridge.

    It was cordoned off by police on Monday.

    A former player with Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, Lazio, Glasgow Rangers and Middlesbrough, Gascoigne was a star of England's 1990 World Cup team in Italy.

    He tried his hand at management at Kettering Town in 2005, but was sacked after 39 days.

    The 43-year-old, of Jesmond Park, Newcastle, has faced a long battle with alcohol and drugs.

    Hope he's ok

    I love Gazza, I think a lot of people don't realise how genuinely decent and caring he is, but he is on track to becoming the new George Best.

    Hope this is a catalyst for him getting over his problems and enjoying the life that his immense talent merited.

    As anyone that's read his books will testify he has some serious mental issues. Feel sorry for him tbh.

    Poor lad is seriously troubled. Pretty harrowing insight into how OCD (or ADD?) can take over someones life.

    That's only a part of his problems. He's a mess. Boozing like he does and drug use just magnifys his problems.

    Mental health problems and addiction are fairly often interlinked.

    Anyway, hope the lad sorts himself out. Doubt it though.
