Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called by East Midlands Ambulance Service following the report of an injured off road motorcyclist on the old road from Buxton towards The Cat & Fiddle.  Whilst this track is still technically a road the surface is in such a state that it is only accessible by 4 x 4 vehicles.

The rider was treated at the scene by paramedics from the East Midlands Ambulance Service before team members carried him on a mountain rescue stretcher to the ambulance waiting on smooth tarmac at the Buxton end.
