AN air ambulance was called to help a man in his 60s in a life-threatening condition who had fallen from a tree in a rural part of Braintree.
The Magpas Helimedix was called at 3:06pm on Sunday (June 29) afternoon, and took Doctor Peter Holden and paramedic Dan Phillips to the rural location to help the injured man.
Magpas is a charity and are only called when a patient is in a serious "life-changing" condition.
An Essex & Herts Air Ambulance doctor and paramedic treated the patient, who had suffered head injuries after a fall from tree, before handing him into the care of the Magpas team, who then flew the man in his 60s to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
On arrival at the hospital, the man was in a stable condition where he is being monitored.
