A woman collapsed and sustained a suspected leg injury while walking in the Sperrin Mountains earlier today (Sunday).
The woman had been with a group of people around 12:40pm this afternoon when she collapsed between the peak of Sawel and Dart mountains in the Claudy area.
PSNI Air Support attended the scene, while other emergency services were on standby.
Inspector McIldowney said officers from PSNI Air Support were quickly on scene and able to successfully locate the injured woman and take her to hospital for treatment for a suspected leg injury.
“Thankfully, this operation had a successful outcome and I hope the woman will make a full recovery after her ordeal.
“This is a great example of partnership working in the community and keeping people safe,” added the Inspector.
