A 14-year-old teenage boy had to be rescued yesterday afternoon (Saturday) after suffering a fall in the Masca Vally, in the Tenerife municipality of Buenavista del Norte, as reported by the Emergency Services Coordination Centre (CECOES).
They received an alert at 12.45pm informing them that medical assistance was needed as he had a leg injury and couldn’t walk, so they dispatched a GES helicopter to the location given because it was difficult to access by road or on foot.
After lowering medically trained crew to the ground, who stabilised the injured bot and strapped him to a stretcher, they airlifted him to the helicopter and flew him to the La Guancha helipad where an ambulance was waiting to take him to the Hospital del Norte for further treatment.
