A young mountain biker is set to undergo surgery today after a crash which left her with a snapped pelvis.
Shannon-Claire from Carrickfergus snapped the back of her pelvis and sustained a break to the front of her pelvis after a collision with a tree in Woodburn Forest on Tuesday evening.
A police spokesperson said: “It took over two hours for emergency services to reach her, a rescue hampered not only by the terrain but the lack of mobile signal to pinpoint her location.
“Shannon was eventually found and extracted from the forest to the Royal Victoria Hospital where she is being treated.
Shannon and her family would like to extend their sincere thanks to all the emergency services and those who helped Shannon in her time of need.
