A 15 year old girl had to be airlifted to hospital after suffering a head injury at Harwich Skate Park.

The East Anglian Air Ambulance landed next to the nearby Boating Lake on Wick Lane before flying the girl to Queen's Hospital in Romford at about 5.55pm on Tuesday.

Staff from the Dovercourt Swimming Pool gave the 15 year old first aid after the accident, which is thought to have happened while she was riding a bike.
