Callouts

Harden and Bingley 24/08/26, 16:32 & 17:37

Calder Valley Search and Rescue Team were called by Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) to assist with a mountain biker who had collided with a tree, sustaining an injury to their lower leg.

Team members worked alongside the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) and ambulance crews to deliver care on scene before the casualty was transferred to hospital.

While this incident was ongoing, a second call came in for a walker with an ankle injury following a slip.

Fortunately, both incidents occurred within the same general area, allowing several CVSRT members to be re-tasked to assist HART personnel with transporting the second patient to the awaiting ambulance.

A busy few hours for the team and some great team work with the statutory emergency services to ensure both casualties received timely care.
