A swan has been rescued in Mexborough after getting herself stuck between the wooden slats of a lock gate.
Firefighters from South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue joined the RSPCA to help free the bird from Swinton Lock, off Ferry Boat Lane on Friday 25 September after a member of the public spotted the swan in trouble.
RSPCA Inspector Sara Jordan said
The poor swan had got herself well and truly wedged between the metal and the wood of the lock gate. Her wing was stuck between the slats and she could hardly move. “We think perhaps she had entered another swan’s territory and had been fleeing attack when she got herself stuck. I couldn’t have rescued this poor bird without the help of the fire services and their technical equipment.
We are extremely grateful to the fire services for helping us. Using their pneumatic spreader tool, we managed to create enough room for me to gently push her trapped wing backwards and ease her out. She was checked over at the vets who found that thankfully there were no broken bones, just some soft tissue damage.
A 16-year-old boy is in hospital with very serious head injuries following a collision between a car and an electric bike.
A Talaria electric motorbike collided with the offside of an Audi Q7 as it travelled through the junction of Lombard Street and Sherbrooke Avenue in Leeds at 1:08pm yesterday (Sunday 27th October).
A 16-year-old boy suffered very serious head injuries and remains in hospital for treatment.
The male driver of the Audi was arrested on suspicion of drug driving offences and has since been released under investigation.
Police are appealing for witnesses and would like to speak to anyone who saw
