Emergency teams were called after a cyclist came off his bike on a popular trail.
The incident happened on Saturday afternoon when the Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team were called to help a cyclist who had come off his bike on the Salter Fell track, between Wray and Slaidburn and suffered a deep wound to his knee.
When rescue teams reached the cyclist's location, they carried out a medical assessment and then bandaged and splinted his knee.
“Thankfully Helimed were able to attend and after a short carry on our stretcher, the gentleman was transferred into the helicopter for transport to hospital.
“A big thank you to North West Air Ambulance Charity for saving us a 3km stretcher carry and ensuring the gentleman reached hospital as fast as possible for treatment.
“We wish the patient a speedy recovery and hope he's back out enjoying a bike ride again soon.”
