An air ambulance was spotted landing in a field in Gainsborough over the weekend - and officials have now revealed why it was there.

The ambucopter, which is dispatched for medical emergencies, landed in the Levellings field near Ropery Road at around 7pm yesterday, Sunday, June 21.

A lot of residents reported seeing it coming into land, along with an ambulance and a first responder vehicle.

Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance have now told Lincolnshire Live it was dispatched for someone who had suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to hospital.

The organisation relies heavily on donations and has been hit hard by the coronavirus crisis making it difficult to hold fund-raising events.
