Happened over the past hour with roads closed around the RCH Bridge House, Could see 3 fire engines, several police cars, paramedic unit, one ambulance and the Police helicopter. The helicopter lander in the field off Newhay Close by the church.

It looked like a single person was taken by ambulance from the RCH to Newhay Close and on to the awaiting ambulance. They were then placed into the helicopter and after about 20min's or so flew away towards Plymouth.

I don't want to see photos of someone's misfortune, especially when their condition isn't known.    All this is deeply unpleasant.
