Emergency services, including paramedics and mountain rescue teams, rushed to the scene
Emergency services, including an air ambulance and mountain rescue teams, were scrambled to the scene yesterday . Rossendale and Pendle Mountain rescue Team said their team leader was alerted by a contact at Pendle Hill about a 'possible incident involving a paraglider crashing at the top of the steps'.
RPMRT said the paraglider was 'packaged onto a stretcher' before being carried to the land ambulance where they were treated by paramedics from North West Ambulance Service and the Air Ambulance. "With no further information available immediately, but the potential seriousness of this incident, additional team members made their way to Pendle from Trawden show. The response vehicle from our team that was headed to callout #27 was also diverted as Bolton Mountain Rescue Team were likely to arrive at a similar time, if not slightly before, and along with our team members already on scene, would be able to deal with the incident there.
"The casualty was treated and packaged on to a stretcher, before being carried to the land ambulance where they were assessed by the NWAS and NWAA crews. As ever we wish the casualty a speedy recovery.
