POLICE are today hunting the driver of a vehicle which shed part of its load, injuring two pedestrians.
At 11.18am today, police received a report from the ambulance service that a man and a woman walking over Redheugh Bridge between Newcastle and Gateshead had been hit by a filing cabinet.
It had fallen from what a witness said was a passing white flat-bed van, and they both suffered serious inquiries.
They were taken to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where their injuries were described as “serious but not life threatening”.
