Injury on North Sea platform

A Coastguard search and rescue helicopter yesterday assisted in the medical evacuation of an injured crew member from a North Sea platform.

The crew member sustained an injury to their coccyx after falling aboard the platform, situated approximately 92 nautical miles north-east of Sumburgh.

As a result, Rescue 900 was tasked to transfer the casualty to the Clickimin Landing Site, with both the Lerwick and Sumburgh coast rescue teams providing assistance.
