TWO people were treated for slight injuries after a trailer knocked over a market stall on Darlington's High Row yesterday morning.

The accident happened at about 9.40am, and the trailer involved was intended for use as part of another Christmas market stall.

The injured people were a Darlington Borough Council worker, who suffered bruising, and a female shopper from Shildon, who received injuries to her face. Both were released from Darlington Memorial Hospital after treatment for their injuries, which police said were slight.

An investigation has been launched by Darlington council's health and safety department.
