Drunk teen rescued from river in Boroughbridge
The emergency services were summoned to help two teenagers who it is believed had been in the River Ure in Boroughbridge yesterday evening.
A passerby called Yorkshire Ambulance Service at around 6.20pm. The caller said they had seen a teenage boy drinking before going into the water.
When the ambulance crews arrived they realised that he had been with a teenage girl as well but she was no longer in the area.
So the paramedics requested help from North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and four water rescue teams to look for the missing girl.
The crews soon found the girl and took her back to her parents. The paramedics then took the boy to hospital for treatment.
