Man rescued after getting trapped under tree in Nidderdale
A man was rescued after he became trapped under a tree in Summerbridge today.
Crews from Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon were called at 9am to help the male, who got trapped after trying to fell a tree that was hanging dangerously over a road.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log said:
"Male had been rescued by contractors prior to fire service arrival.
"Male was given precautionary checks by paramedics but was discharged on scene with bruising and grazing. No action was required by fire service.
Strong overnight winds uprooted numerous trees across the district overnight, including two at Ripon Grammar School (see below).
The Stray Ferret asked the school about the incident but has not yet received any details.
