Elderly farmer trampled by bull

An elderly farmer was flown to hospital by an RAF rescue helicopter after being trampled by a bull at an Anglesey farm.

He was conscious but in pain with chest and rib injuries. The Sea King helicopter based at Valley flew him from Llanfaethlu to hospital in Bangor.

Within minutes the same helicopter flew to Betws-y-Coed, Conwy where a 58-year-old woman was thrown from her horse.

Her leg was crushed after the horse landed on her in boggy forestry land. She also suffered hypothermia.

An ambulance crew treated the woman, from Church Stretton in Shropshire, before she was winched into the helicopter and flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
