A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust said: “A rapid response vehicle was on scene in two minutes followed by an ambulance crew, ambulance officer and response car from Magpas.

“They treated a man in his 20s who had suffered a broken pelvis.

“He was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital by land ambulance for further treatment.”

Magpas Doctor Ed Barnard and Paramedic Keiran Bromley, who landed in the air ambulance said they gave the man advanced pain relief, providing him with A&E level care, and accompanied him by land ambulance to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge.

He was in a serious but stable condition upon arrival at hospital.
