Injured mountain biker Pinhaw

The team was called out on request of the Yorkshire ambulance service to come to the aid of an injured mountain biker.

Initially the call came through to a location near Glusburn but after utilising our phone find tool we ascertained the location to be on Pinhaw.

Luckily a member of one of our neighbouring teams, Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team was near the biker and was able to confirm to both the ambulance service and UWFRA that the casualty had a lot of rib & pelvic pain and had an elevated breathing rate.

Once on scene the team assisted the ambulance crew and lifted the casualty on to our wheeled stretcher for onward mobilisation to the waiting Road ambulance.
