Incident 28/2016 – Injured husband and wife in fall at base of Rivington Pike, prompting two Helimed helicopter response
Some of the photos in this article are credited to John Collins aboard Helimed75. You can follow John on Twitter.
A husband and wife couple (from Widnes) out walking this wintry and very cold afternoon, both slipped in muddy conditions at the base of the moorland landmark of Rivington Pike, prompting a 999 call at circa 14.38hrs.
Again as with the previous incident, team Call out Contact Steve Fletcher co –ordinated our response, with members just returning home from the previous incident.
The RVP was given by Steve Fletcher as near the ‘New Toilet Block,’ (now actually derelict) at the edge of the Rivington Terraced Gardens.
Three passing off duty Police Officers (see listing below) out walking in the area, then assisted the two Helimed crews in treating the injured husband and wife.
At 15.02hrs team member Mark Scott was our first responding member on scene, arriving at the casualty site at 15.07hrs, with the first of our three responding Land Rovers arriving on scene at 15.09hrs.
The injured man with a fractured lower leg, was mountain rescue stretcher evacuated by the team to our nearby Land Rovers, being placed in to our Bolton Mobile 1 vehicle at 15.54hrs, which then transferred the casualty after travelling along the moorland edge track of Georges Lane, in to a responding NWAS Ambulance at Ye Jolly Crofters Public House, at Chorley Old Road, Horwich, at circa 16.10hrs.
