A MAN and a young woman were taken to hospital last night after the car they were travelling in collided with a heavy goods vehicle.
The accident happened near the White Horse pub, on the A167, on the outskirts of Darlington, at about 5.10pm.
A tipper truck was travelling from the A167 and reached the mini-roundabout at the entrance to Harrowgate Hill Farm estate when it was in a collision with a car which was pulling out of the estate.
The woman, thought to be in her late teens, escaped from the car unaided. The HGV driver, in his forties, was released by the fire brigade. Both were taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital as a precaution.
