The Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance made an early hours landing in the village of Whitwell this morning (Friday), responding to a critical medical emergency.
It was just before 00:30 that the out-of-area air ambulance touched down just off Bannock Road, where the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service was already in attendance.
2 ambulance crews, a critical care paramedic and an operational commander were all mobilised by ambulance control in response to a life-threatening 999 call.
The assistance of Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance’s flying medics was requested, in a bid to say a man’s life.
Less than 30 minutes after landing, the air ambulance was stood down.
All resources had left the scene by 03:20.
