Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance landed near Melksham for an emergency this afternoon.

The yellow helicopter flew around 40 miles to a field off A365 Bath Road at Atworth for a serious medical incident within a private address at around 6.05pm.

An ambulance and two ambulance rapid response vehicles were parked in Godwins Closed as critical care medics worked alongside local medical teams at the scene.
