Air ambulance flies injured boy to hospital from Burnham

A three-year-old boy was airlifted to hospital from Burnham-On-Sea on Saturday afternoon (May 10th) after suffering a serious foot injury.

The toddler was stabilised at the scene by paramedics, but due to the nature of his injuries, caused by a garden accident, it was decided that the quickest way to transport him to hospital was by helicopter.

An air ambulance was called to the scene at around 1.30pm to fly him to Frenchay hospital in Bristol.

Eyewitnesses told Burnham-On-Sea.com the helicopter briefly landed at Burnham and Berrow golf course before taking off with the casualty onboard a short time later.
