Northumbrian Water workers have been praised for their rescue skills after saving a trapped foal stuck in a culvert in County Durham.
Technical support advisers Daniel Clemenson and Adam Tindle, as well as operations support assistant Anth Carver, who all work with Northumbrian Water's sewage team, were installing cameras in Crook's drainage systems when they heard nearby cries from a distressed horse.
Kyran Allen from Water Intelligence International was also working on the project, and after putting his duties to a halt, he came across the horse who was communicating with its baby, which was trapped in an underground culvert.
