We were contacted by South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust at 12.00 to assist in the search and extraction of an injured female from St Agnes Beacon. They were reported to have a leg injury but their exact location was unknown.

An Ambulance crew were already near the location trying to locate the casualty as team members arrived. Teams conducted an initial hasty search of the area.

It transpires the casualty had managed to self-recover to the roadside and they were conveyed to hospital. We were stood down at 13.05.
