Heléna Holt, chief executive of Devon Air Ambulance Trust said "As the local air ambulance service for Devon, we are also on standby to carry out emergency transfers like this for young and old."
She added "Our on duty crew, pilot Captain Rob Mackie and paramedics Paul Robinson and Nigel Lang, told us the toddler's condition remained stable throughout the flight to hospital, which took only 10 minutes. The driving time from scene to hospital, in clear traffic would be more than three quarters of an hour. That's reassuring when you have any injured or ill patient, who needs emergency treatment quickly."
