Friday 8th May at 17.57hrs the rescue Team were called by the North West Ambulance Service for an incident that involved a Motor Cross rider that had fallen and had sustained injuries.
With the ambulance unable to make its way across the rough terrain, Team members using our 4×4 vehicles transported the Paramedics to the casualty site.
Once we were on scene, the injuries sustained were determines to be a closed compound fracture of the left arm and bruising to the hip. With the 46-year-old male being in a severe condition we requested the aid and support of the Air Ambulance which duly arrived some time lately.
With all resources at scene, the casualty was stretchered to the aircraft and he was flown into Royal Preston Hospital for further assessment and treatment.
15 volunteers of Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team along with Paramedics were involved in this incident which took over 4 hours to complete.
We wish the injured casualty a speedy recovery.
