On Sunday, May 14, the Derby Mountain Rescue Team were heading to a training exercise near Biggin, when a passer-by informed them of a collision further up the A515.

A DMRT spokesperson said: “We dispatched a team vehicle to investigate and found a two car road traffic collision further up the A515. “As other emergency services were not yet on scene, we triaged the five casualties, including two children. The driver of one of the vehicles required urgent medical care which was provided on scene by team members. He was handed over to East Midlands Ambulance Service for transfer to the Royal Derby Hospital.
