Woman Airlifted to Hospital After Fall on Croagh Patrick
A woman was airlifted to hospital on Sunday afternoon after sustaining head injuries while descending Croagh Patrick.
The incident occurred at around 3pm when the woman slipped on the track about halfway down and suffered an injury to her face and head. She contacted emergency services for assistance as she felt unable to continue.
Members of the Mayo Mountain Rescue Team (MMRT) and the Coast Guard’s Rescue 118 helicopter were tasked to the scene.
- The woman was airlifted to Mayo University Hospital.
- The MMRT wished the woman a full and speedy recovery.
- The MMRT praised the Coast Guard crew for their swift response.
Their involvement can more than halve the time from callout to hospital in such emergencies.
