Three people helped to safety in two separate Sunday incidents by members of the South Eastern Mountain Rescue Association

Three people were helped to safety yesterday (Sunday) in two separate incidents in the region.

The South Eastern Mountain Rescue Association’s first call-out was just before 4pm to assist the National Ambulance Service with a fallen mountain runner who’d suffered a lower leg injury just below Holy Year Cross.

The person was helped down and transferred to an ambulance.

Shortly after, they were alerted at about 6:30pm to a father and son lost in fog in the Galtees with both helped safely to their car.
