Quarry fall boy rescue drama
7:58am Monday 31st March 2008
A MOUNTAIN rescue team was called to a quarry after a 13-year-old boy suffered a serious leg injury.
The teenager had been playing with friends on a steep slope when he fell.
Members of the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team were called to the scene, off Belmont Road, Belmont.
Paramedics had already placed the boy's leg in a splint by the time the team arrived, but their expertise and equipment was needed to get him to hospital.
Volunteers loaded the boy on to a rescue stretcher and carried him to a waiting ambulance.
He was taken to the Royal Bolton Hospital. The incident happened on Thursday at about 6pm.
