Eight residents were taken to hospital, and Northumbria Police said a woman in her 90s and another in her 80s died shortly after the crash.
An official investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) into the police pursuit found officers from Northumbria Police behaved in an “exemplary manner”.
Despite police driving at speeds reaching more than 100mph, the IOPC judged the risk to be justified.
