A coastguard rescue team, paramedics and the Cornwall Air Ambulance are involved in the rescue of a woman who fell and injured herself on the North Cornwall coast.

Falmouth Coastguard said the 60-year-old casualty was in a "very inaccessible" location near Crackington Haven which meant ambulance crews needed help reaching her.

The Bude Coastguard Rescue Team was called at 1pm and are carrying the injured lady on a stretcher to the Cornwall Air Ambulance, which is waiting in a nearby field.

A spokesman for Falmouth Coastguard said: "The rescue is ongoing but we understand the female was in a very inaccessible spot and the first ambulance crew to arrive at the scene could not safely move her. 

"The Bude team are there to get her onto the Air Ambulance so she can be flown to hospital for treatment."
