Dartmoor search for injured girl

A major search was launched in Devon after reports of an injured schoolgirl on Dartmoor.

Devon and Cornwall Police, the force helicopter and the Dartmoor Rescue Group were all involved in the search.

Two casualties were found about an hour later by the police helicopter between Erme Head and Burrator.

One girl had collapsed, while the other had suffered an ankle injury. Both were taken to hospital but their injuries are not thought to be serious.

Earlier this month, 10-year-old Jody Upton-Webb, from Plymouth, sparked a rescue operation on the moor when she got lost playing hide-and-seek while on a school trip to Burrator Reservoir.

She was found by Dartmoor Rescue Group near Norsworthy Bridge three hours after she went missing.
