| (about 1 hour later) | |
| A gas tanker has crashed over a bridge and plunged 50ft on to a railway near a market town in County Durham. | |
| An exclusion zone has been set up and the driver was airlifted to hospital after the crash at the Weardale Railway just outside Wolsingham. | |
| Potentially flammable gas is reported to be leaking from the tanker and a 100m cordon is in place. A few homes and a caravan park were evacuated. | |
| The driver was thrown from the tanker - the extent of his injuries is unclear. | |
| Police and fire crews are at the scene and the A689 has been closed. | |
| In May, a van containing gas cylinders exploded in the town's market place, killing the driver and causing widespread damage to both residential and commercial properties. | |
