In a series of Tweets, NEWSAR said: “@NWPolice asked us to assist a woman with a lower leg injury on the top of the Panorama above Llangollen. Her companion provided some pain relief, a bandage for support and then they both got into an emergency shelter to keep themselves warm. 

“As we were on the way, a local farmer became aware of the incident and was able to drive the casualty down in his vehicle. We then provided additional pain relief and splinting, before she went to hospital with family members.

“Get well soon!”
