Mountain biker rescued
A teenager was rescued after crashing his mountain bike on a popular offroad trail in a forest near Scarborough. Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team were called after the teenager suffered upper body injuries on the red route in Dalby Forest, at around 10am on Sunday. The teenager was already receiving treatment from paramedics and the air ambulance when rescue teams arrived, who were needed to help move the patient with a stretcher. A crew of 10, who were deployed for more than two hours, carried the teenager to an ambulance waiting to take him to hospital. Two days earlier, the mountain rescue team was called to Saltergate in the North York Moors near Pickering after a woman suffered a lower leg injury. That call marked the team’s 50th rescue so far in 2022.
