Teenager Injured In Clywedog River

A teenage boy was injured after an incident in the Clywedog River by Felin Puleston yesterday evening.

Several people were in touch after ambulances and a four wheel drive vehicle arrived to assist an individual who was injured in or by the river near Felin Puleston last night, believed to have suffered a broken leg.

North East Wales Search & Rescue (NEWSAR) assisted, and said: “Assisted Welsh Ambulance Service to recover an injured young man from a difficult access water location near Wrexham. Get well soon from all the team.”
