A PENSIONER hurt after a collision with a taxi in Darlington yesterday is still being treated in hospital.
Despite minor injuries, the woman in her 70s, was being kept in as a precaution.
She is understood to have sufffered a minor blow to the head when she stepped into the road outside the Wilkinsons store on East Street yesterday, and collided with a taxi travelling at a slow speed.
A spokesman for Durham Constabulary said: "Because of her age, and because of the fact it was a head injury, she was kept in hospital overnight but her condition is stable."
Police sealed off the road, near the junction with Crown Street and the mini roundabout for a few hours yesterday morning in case forensic information needed to be collected, but opened it again by lunchtime.
