VOLUNTEERS from Calder Valley Search & Rescue Team (CVSRT) went to the aid of a 61-year-old woman who fell while walking on the moors above Haworth.
The woman, who was with her husband, suffered a suspected elbow fracture in the incident near Bronte Falls.
Twenty CVSRT members attended.
"We were quickly on-scene and located the lady who was able to walk up to the main track to receive medical assistance from a team doctor," said a spokesman.
"Pain relief was given and her arm was splinted before a team member transported the casualty to hospital for further treatment."
The CVSRT, called out late yesterday morning, was at the scene for nearly three hours.
