Crews rescue hurt sledger

EMERGENCY services carried out a late night rescue last night when a sledger was found lying in the snow with a head injury.

The 21-year-old man was found at around 11.20pm.

It is unknown whether he was sledging at that late hour or had sustained the injury earlier in the day, but ambulance crews reported that he had been lying in the snow for at least an hour.

He was taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary for treatment.
