Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT), is asking bikers to tackle a route of at least sixty miles in May and September, the months when it would normally be welcoming them in person to its much-loved motorcycle events. EHAAT normally holds two motorcycle runs – in May to North Weald and in September to Harwich – but these have both again been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
FIREFIGHTERS had to free a trapped casualty from a vehicle following a nasty crash on a village road before two people were taken to hospital. Two crews from Clacton and Frinton were called to Clacton Road, in Great Holland, at about 11.45am on Tuesday. They attended the scene after receiving reports of a crash involving two vehicles. Upon arrival they worked with paramedics from the East of England Ambulance Service to help release one person from their vehicle. The casualty was eventually freed by 12:30pm. They were then left in the care of paramedics but the road remain closed by police officers for several hours with drivers being diverted.
