A walker has been rescued after falling into a reservoir spillway on the outskirts of Sheffield.

Ambulance crews and Edale Mountain Rescue were called to the Rivelin Reservoir on Saturday, with the casualty suffering pelvic injuries.

A stretcher was used to haul the injured person out of the spillway during the "challenging" rescue at about 20:50 BST, rescuers said.

They were then carried out through a forest and placed in an ambulance.
