“Due to the steepness of the ascending path to the awaiting ambulance, it was decided to move the ambulance onto the Monsal Trail.
“The casualty was placed into a casualty bag and vacuum mattress, and then transferred to the ambulance. We’d like to thank all the members of the public for their patience whilst the cyclist was being treated.”
BMRT is run entirely by volunteers and relies on donations from the public – you can donate to support the team’s work here.
