Hide AdAndy Humberstone of Buxton Mountain Rescue said: “There were a couple of people trying to recover a vehicle which had become stuck in the snow and one of them became trapped and crushed.
“It was not one of our normal jobs but because of the snowy conditions it was difficult for the ambulance to get up there.
After the fire services released the casualty we put him on one of our stretchers and carried him down to the ambulance.”
