At approximately 15:20hrs on Tuesday, August 9th, both the Glen of Imaal Red Cross Mountain Rescue Team and the Dublin Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team were tasked by an Garda Síochána to assist a young Belgian woman who had sustained a lower leg injury while out hillwalking near White Hill. 

 

Mountain Rescue personnel located the walker and assisted HSE National Ambulance Service paramedics in treating her. MR personnel then packaged the woman into a stretcher and evacuated her to a waiting ambulance. The incident was stood down at 17.15hrs.

 

Mountain Rescue would like to thank all agencies involved including: The HSE National Ambulance Service.
