A multi-agency operation took place on Sunday, following an incident on a hill in Shropshire.

From West Mercia Search and Rescue:

“This (Sunday) afternoon, our team was called to assist West Midlands Ambulance Service, their Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) and Shropshire Fire & Rescue with a casualty extraction from Stiperstones. 

“A female hiker had taken an unfortunate fall, sustaining multiple injuries.

“The casualty was treated on scene by WMAS paramedics, then both our volunteer team and SFRS were able to assist with her extraction from the track to an ambulance, where she was transported to the nearest hospital for further medical treatment. 

“Another great multi-agency effort, working together to deliver for the community. 

“Our volunteers would like to thank our emergency service colleagues and wish the hiker the speediest of recoveries.”
