A 'MULTI AGENCY' operation took place in Denbighshire last night to rescue a casualty who had fallen into a 'difficult to access location'.
North East Wales Search and Rescue team joined the Wales Air Ambulance, Welsh Ambulance Service and the Coastguard at the scene in Denbigh at 8.20pm.
Reports from eyewitnesses in the area suggested that someone had fallen down a cliff, although this has not been confirmed by the relevant agencies as yet.
A statement from North East Wales Search and Rescue regarding the incident read: "At 8:20pm on Tuesday we were called to assist at a multi agency incident in Denbigh. A casualty needed moving from a difficult to access location so they could be taken to hospital by helicopter. The pictures show the final part of the journey to the waiting Coastguard helicopter."
A spokesperson for the Wales Air Ambulance said: “I can confirm that our Caernarfon-based aircraft attended an incident in the Denbigh area yesterday evening (08/06/21). Our crew arrived at the scene at 19:55.
"Following treatment from our medics, and extradition from the scene with the support of Mountain Rescue, we escorted the patient to the Royal Stoke University Hospital in a Search and Rescue helicopter. Our involvement concluded at 23:05.”
The condition of the casualty is as yet unknown.
