Rescuers free a schoolgirl who becomes trapped between rocks at Hound Tor on Dartmoor, according to multiple reports. The girl is stuck on the rocky outcrop for hours, with accounts describing a rescue that lasts roughly three hours. During the effort, responders use washing-up liquid to help release her from the tight gap, making it easier to remove her from the rocks. Local coverage characterizes the substance as crucial to the rescue, noting that it helps reduce friction or improve her ability to be freed without worsening injuries.
The BBC and other outlets describe the incident as a dramatic rescue at the popular beauty spot. While details focus on the trapped location and duration, all accounts agree on the core elements: the girl is stuck between rocks on Dartmoor, rescuers remain on scene for several hours, and washing-up liquid plays a key role in getting her out safely.
