Helicopter rescue for walker injured in fall

An injured walker was airlifted to safety after falling while hiking in the Peak District.

Mountain rescue volunteers were called to Grindsbrook, near Kinder Scout, at 13:38 BST on Tuesday after a report the casualty had suffered a "painful" ankle injury and was unable to walk.

Edale Mountain Rescue Team said a volunteer team member had been running nearby and was able to reach the scene and help.

A Coastguard helicopter was called as other volunteers made their way there.

The helicopter took the walker to a nearby cement works, where a waiting ambulance took the casualty to hospital in Sheffield.
