An air ambulance landed in Elm near Wisbech on Friday afternoon to airlift a young boy injured in a collision with a car.
At around 4.30pm Magpas air ambulance landed at the bottom of a garden in the Henry Warby Avenue area of the village with a doctor and paramedic on board.
A Magpas spokesman said: “They had been called by the EEAST ambulance service to treat a boy injured in a collision with a car.
“The Magpas enhanced medical team assessed the boy who had sustained a leg injury. “They sedated him at the scene (providing him with A&E level care) and provided him with pain relief.
“They then airlifted him to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn. He was in a stable condition upon arrival at hospital.”
