Cornwall Air Ambulance was called to the Camel Trail earlier today to fly a cyclist to hospital following an accident.

The Padstow Coastguard team were initially requested by the air ambulance just after 2pm to a 67-year-old woman who had fallen from her bike and hit a tree.

The team helped the crew while primary survey and pain relief was carried out. Once stabilised the casualty was log rolled onto a spinal scoop.

By this point a road ambulance had also arrived. The woman was then transported down the trail to the air ambulance.

She was then flown to the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, for further treatment.
