Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team (CVSRT) were contacted by Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) to assist with a casualty who had fallen down a steep bank and into a stream, sustaining knee and shoulder injuries.

A member of the public had discovered the injured casualty who was unable to exit the water.

The patient received treatment from Helimed and YAS clinicians, and with support from CVSRT was packaged and transferred by wheeled stretcher to the awaiting air ambulance. The casualty was then airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary by Helimed 98 (Yorkshire Air Ambulance).

We wish the casualty a full and speedy recovery.
