SPECIALIST recovery vehicles had to be called in to help when a lorry loader carrying scores of pallets toppled over yesterday.
The hiab - a truck with a crane arm - was off-loading pallets when it overturned near the Elm Ridge garden centre, in Coniscliffe Road, Darlington.
The driver and crane driver jumped from the vehicle. The crane driver suffered a minor ankle injury.
Police were called at 4.31pm and specialist recovery vehicles from Alan Sewell, in Bishop Auckland, County Durham, were brought in to right the vehicle.
