Emergency services have been called to yet another rescue in the Grampians on Thursday afternoon.
Members from Ambulance Victoria, Police Victoria and SES were called out at about 1.45pm on Thursday afternoon to rescue a 14-year-old boy who had fallen on the Boronia Peak Trail.
“He hit his head but is awake. We may have to carry him out,” Stawell SES duty officer Jenny Rooke said.
“We think he may be near the top of the Boronia Peak Track.”
It is the second rescue this week, after SES helped a woman in her 30s after she seriously injured her ankle on Tuesday night.
More to come.
