Injured walker
The Team was alerted to reports from both the police and NWAS of a woman who had tripped and injured her ankle. The casualty’s location could not be verified as the report had been passed on via a landline, so a vehicle was dispatched to locate the casualty.
After assessment and splinting of the woman’s ankle she was assisted to the Team Land Rover and returned to her car at Hartsop. Her companions transported her to hospital for further treatment.
