Woman rescued by crews on Brean Down following off-road buggy accident
Burnham-On-Sea Coastguards and several ambulance crews were called to rescue a woman on Brean Down at the weekend after an off-road buggy she was using tipped over, leaving her hurt.
The teams were called to help the lady near Brean Down Fort on Saturday afternoon at 1.45pm, as pictured here.
Due to the slippery conditions underfoot following heavy rain, a lengthy rescue operation was undertaken to move the lady safely to a nearby ambulance for treatment for minor injuries.
A Burnham Coastguard spokesman says: “The National Trust has an off-road buggy available to hire for those who would not otherwise be able to partake in views that some of us take for granted. One such adventurer had hired the buggy and taken it up along the highest point and on towards the fort.”
