Police said the condition was deemed to be time critical by paramedics who couldn't safely transport her quickly to the hospital due to icy conditions on the rural roads.
The helicopter was able to land nearby and transport the woman and a paramedic directly to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, reducing a journey of over an hour to ten minutes.

“Crikey! the Police are using big helicopters these days! Oh no... wait a minute... that's a picture of a British International Helicopters Sikorsky S-61N at Penzance Heliport isn't it? Does your picture editor not have a stock photo of the Police Eurocopter EC-145?”
