It's been a busy start to 2021 for Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team with incidents two and three of the year recorded today.
At 11:20am this morning the volunteer rescue team were called to Cropton Forrest to assist Yorkshire Ambulance Service in the extraction of an individual with a suspect hip injury sustained from impact by a falling tree. Fifteen team members and two team vehicles were travelling to the scene when we were stood down as there were sufficient people on scene to carry the patient to the waiting ambulance. Activation was for approximately twenty five minutes.
Then at 1:30pm this afternoon the team were called by both Yorkshire Ambulance Service and Yorkshire Air Ambulance to an elderly man who had become unwell and collapsed in arable land south west of Hovingham. The patient was carried to the air ambulance and airlifted to hospital. Eighteen team members and two team vehicles deployed for an hour and ten minutes.
Both casualties were entitled to be where they were in both the letter and spirit of the current lockdown.
