Girl injured in Loughton RTC
A 10-year-old girl was flown to hospital yesterday afternoon (Thursday) following a collision with a double-decker bus in Loughton.
The air ambulance, rapid response Stuart Varney and land crew Stephen Salter and Scott Dyer were sent to Chester Road at about 3.38pm.
Paramedics Laurie Phillipson and Steve Dennehy were on board the helicopter, and landed in a nearby playing field.
Steve said: "The girl had suffered some head injuries and she was stabilised before being put on the helicopter.
"From a clinical point of view, the ambulance crews and police worked really well together on this, and it meant the helicopter could leave the scene rapidly and fly into Queen's Hospital, Romford, which is a specialist in dealing with head injuries."
