Mountain Rescue Team and Air Ambulance Involved in New Wath Scar Rescue

Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue team were involved in the rescue of an unconscious man from a stream yesterday.

The volunteer rescue team were called by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust to reports of a gentleman who had fallen in the boulder field in the bottom of New Wath Scar. The gentleman had sustained a head injury and was unconscious in the stream.

After initial treatment on the stream bank by Yorkshire Ambulance Service and the Fire and Rescue Service the gentleman was loaded onto one of the team's Bell Stretchers, evacuated from the gorge and carried a distance upstream by the mountain rescue team and officers from North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service to the waiting Yorkshire Air Ambulance. He was then flown to definitive medical care.

In a social media update the Mountain Rescue Team said:

"Our thoughts are with the gentleman and his family.

In a true multi-services response there were crews from Yorkshire Ambulance Service, Yorkshire Hazardous Area Response Team (HART). Yorkshire Air Ambulance. North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service,North Yorkshire Police and ourselves. We had nine team members and three vehicles deployed for three hours."
