Eyewitnesses were surprised to see an air ambulance land in a retailer’s car park.

The Wales Air Ambulance was called to the scene on South Parade, Pensarn, near to The Original Factory Shop (TOFS) on Marine Road yesterday.

A man was taken to Glan Clwyd Hospital by road.

A spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance Service said: “We were called at shortly before 1.35pm this afternoon to reports of a medical emergency at an address on South Parade in Pensarn.

“We sent the Wales Air Ambulance, a crew in an emergency ambulance and a paramedic in a rapid response vehicle and a man was taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd by road.”

An spokesperson for TOFS said: “We heard something hovering outside before it landed in the car park.

"Nothing like this has never happened before. It was a first for the store.”
