Injured pensioner, 77, and his grandson are rescued in late-night mountain operation... thanks to his phone's emergency SOS setting
An injured 77-year-old grandfather and his 19-year-old grandson were rescued near Scafell Pike after an iPhone emergency SOS call alerted Cumbria Police. Wasdale Mountain Rescue volunteers and a Coastguard helicopter responded, and bad weather prevented the helicopter from landing, so 14 volunteers evacuated the pair by stretcher over about seven hours.
