Runner airlifted to hospital after Peak District fall

A runner was airlifted to hospital with a leg injury after a fall in the Peak District.

Edale Mountain Rescue Team (EMRT) was called to the southern edges of Kinder, near Edale Valley in Derbyshire, at about 11:30 BST on Sunday.

The rescue team said the runner had fallen on uneven, rocky ground and sustained a "painful lower-leg injury". Due to the "difficult terrain", help from the air ambulance was requested.

Following treatment at the scene, the team said it was a "difficult evacuation" to the helicopter before the casualty was flown to hospital for further treatment.

EMRT thanked members from Buxton Mountain Rescue Team, who also assisted the operation.
