An 11-year-old girl is rescued after being stuck for about four hours with her leg wedged between boulders at Hound Tor on Dartmoor, in Devon. The incident happens while she is on a school trip in hot weather. According to reports, she slips and her leg becomes trapped in the gap between large rocks. While waiting for help, she remains wedged until rescuers reach her.
Multiple accounts state that her rescue involves the use of a bottle of “Fairy” liquid, which helps lubricate the area and allow her leg to be freed. After being extracted, she is taken to receive medical attention. The reports do not indicate the cause of any long-term injury, but they describe the prolonged entrapment and the circumstances of the rescue during the heatwave.
