Incident report

Twelve members of Buxton Mountain Rescue Team responded to a call-out following the report from East Midlands Ambulance Service of an injured walker near to Lord’s Seat on Rushop Edge.

The casualty, a 56 year old female from Glossop, was walking with a group when a simple trip resulted in a fractured wrist.  Team members made their way to the incident site with a stretcher and first aid equipment.  However, an air-ambulance was available so the lady, who was in considerable pain, was quickly assisted to the helicopter for transport to hospital.
