Arm Injury on Silver Crag

NWAS reported an incident involving a 78 year old female who had taken a stumbling fall above Silver Point, thereby sustaining an arm injury and facial lacerations. A Team Doctor assessed the casualty’s injuries before treating her and splinting her arm.

She was then stretchered from scene before both she and her companion were transported back to Glenridding in the Team’s Land Rovers. Once cleaned up, the couple made their own way to Penrith Community Hospital’s minor injuries unit for further treatment.
