Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A couple who fell over a dry stone wall while getting "amorous" sparked a major rescue by emergency services at the weekend.
A fire crew, paramedics and an air ambulance were called to the scene near Hawes, North Yorkshire, shortly after midday on Saturday.
The couple in their 30s were said to be leaning against a stone wall in amorous embrace. The woman fell backwards, and as the man tried to grab her, he went tumbling too.
The man suffered possible abdominal and leg injuries and was flown to hospital by air ambulance. The woman was taken by road to hospital with pelvic injuries.
A North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman said: "It was a very strange incident."
