A BIKER was brought off the Eston Hills, near Middlesbrough, after an accident while scrambling.
A police helicopter was used to find the injured, unnamed 29-year-old, who was taken to Middlesbrough General Hospital with a suspected broken leg.
The rider, from Ormesby, Middlesbrough, had been out on the hills with a friend when he lost control of his motorcycle.
A police Land-Rover and a fire brigade cross-country vehicle were used to reach the man. Search and rescue volunteers put him on a special stretcher
