DARTMOOR Search and Rescue Team Tavistock was called to provide assistance to the ambulance service to help rescue an injured male from Crow Tor, near Two Bridges on Saturday morning.

At around 10.20am the Tavistock team helped to evacuate the casualty who had suffered a fracture to his leg. The air ambulance had been deployed but the crew was unable to transport him to the aircraft.

As DSRT members reached the site, the coastguard SAR helicopter took over the evacuation, winching him aboard and transported him to Derriford Hospital.
