Shortly after midday the team were contacted by the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust with a request to attend to a casualty who had fallen and sustained a head injury in Guisborough Woods at the top of Butt Lane.

The woman was walking with her husband and family when she fell resulting in the injury.

She was then taken by Rescue Land Rover to the rendezvous-point at the Bow Street centre where she was assessed by ambulance personnel and then taken to the James Cook Hospital in a NEAS Ambulance.
