A TWO-YEAR-OLD girl is recovering in hospital after falling into a garden pond.
The toddler, who has not been named, almost drowned at her parents' home, in Monkend Gardens, Croft, near Darlington.
It is believed her parents rescued her from the water and revived her before police and ambulance crew arrived. The child was taken to Darlington Memorial Hospital under police escort after the accident on Sunday afternoon. She is now at Newcastle General Hospital where last night she was in a stable condition.
A police spokeswoman stressed there were no suspicious circumstances.
