Air ambulance called after pedestrian injured in Boroughbridge
Firefighters and an air ambulance rescued a man trapped beneath a vehicle in Boroughbridge last night.
The pedestrian was struck by the vehicle on Springfield Road at about 7pm, according to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
He was then flown to hospital in one of two local air ambulance call-outs last night — a person also required the service following a collision on the A61 Ripon Road.
The incident report said:
"One male was trapped under the vehicle and released by crews using stabilising gear and crew power.
"Crews provided first aid until arrival of air ambulance, who transported the male to hospital suffering a leg injury."
Firefighters from Boroughbridge and Knaresborough attended the incident.
