Mountain rescue team called after man falls from tree on the North York Moors

The team deployed at the request of the Yorkshire Ambulance Service to support the Great North Air Ambulance Service who were en route to a report of a man who had sustained injuries after falling from a tree in the Commondale area, approximately 8-miles east of Great Ayton.

A team Land Rover with four members on board was dispatched from the team’s base with others making their own way to the scene.

The casualty was treated by the air ambulance crew and, once stabilised, the team carried him on their scoop stretcher approximately 100-metres to the helicopter for onward treatment at hospital.

Eleven team members were involved in the incident for approximately one-hour before standing-down, to then travel time back to their Base, homes and places of work.
