Man airlifted from the Mournes after falling and breaking his leg

The man, who was 62 years old, was part of a group of walkers who were on a section between Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh when he fell on wet snow/grass yesterday [ 04-APR-10 ].

The Mourne Mountain Rescue Team was dispatched to the scene where they assessed his injuries. A Coast Guard helicopter was requested to airlift him to Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry.
