Police, paramedics and coastguard called to assist elderly woman
Emergency services rushed to Durlston Country Park to assist an elderly woman after a fall.
The coastguard, ambulance service and Dorset Police were called to the nature park on Saturday afternoon following reports that the woman had slipped on rough ground.
Suspecting a broken leg, South Western Ambulance Service asked for the coastguard to assist the woman to a point where she could be transferred into the ambulance and taken to hospital.
A spokesperson for the coastguard said it was true “multi agency working” and wished the woman a speedy recovery.
