Man rescued at Thruscross after fall
Fell rescuers were called to Thruscross reservoir in the Harrogate district yesterday to help a man who had fallen.
Volunteers from Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association were summoned at 1.30pm by Yorkshire Ambulance Service.
They were asked to assist a 35-year-old male who had ruptured the patellar tendon in his knee.
The man is helped into the ambulance.
It is believed the unnamed man, who was walking his dog at the time, slipped going down some steps at the far end of the reservoir.
The association said in a statement:
Fifteen volunteers attended, because of the need to lift the man on a stretcher over stiles and gates.
