An urgent call was received from North West Ambulance Service about a male walker in cardiac arrest.
Helimed 58 and land ambulances were tasked by NWAS and a full callout initiated. A team member in the area was asked to attend direct.
The helicopter medical crew was first on scene within about 20 minutes, quickly followed by the advance team member. Tragically, despite extensive efforts, the walker did not survive. He was carefully moved off the hill and into the care of the emergency services.
Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with the walker’s family and friends.
