A man was rescued from a sinkhole about 9 meters deep at Higher Trevaskis Caravan & Camping Park in Cornwall on 24 July. Emergency services evacuated part of the campsite and used line rescue equipment to bring the casualty to safety; he was then taken to Royal Cornwall Hospital by ambulance. The park owners said specialist mining engineers assessed the site and confirmed it could continue operating safely, and the historical mine feature is being capped and permanently secured. The sinkhole was an unrecorded historical feature, according to the owners.
