Injured man rescued after fell fall in snow

A man who fell into deep snow and dislocated his shoulder has been rescued.

Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team (PMRT) said it was called out to Birkhouse Moor in the Lake District on Wednesday, just after 13:50 GMT.

A team doctor was nearby at Helvellyn, near Ambleside, and was able to reach the casualty quickly and treat him until other rescuers arrived.

The 10-strong team stretchered the man to Glenridding in a rescue that took six hours. It was the team's fifth callout of the year.
