OAP rescued after river fall
FIREFIGHTERS had to rescue an elderly man who had fallen into a river.
Two crews from Leek and a specialist water rescue unit were called to Westwood Golf Club, in Leek, at around 11am yesterday.

He was checked over by ambulance staff, but had not suffered any serious injuries.
