The Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance landed on St Helen’s Green earlier today (Sunday) to attend to a cardiac patient in the village.
The red and yellow helicopter – a livery being used whilst a new helicopter is prepared for the charity – landed in the middle of St Helens at around 15:00 after being requested to attend by the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service. Island Echo understand a gentleman was suffering cardiac problems.
The patient, who is believed to have been located at the St Helens Holiday Park, was taken to St Mary’s Hospital, Newport by land ambulance.
Police assisted with scene safety.
