AIR ambulance medics were deployed after a woman was left badly injured following a crash.

The Essex and Hearts Air Ambulance was sent to Colchester to assist paramedics and police officers last Thursday.

Upon arrival it was established a female patient had been involved in a nasty road accident.

After making the area safe the trio of teams worked together on scene to optimise the casualty’s outcome.

She was subsequently transferred to the emergency department of a hospital for ongoing treatment.
