UPDATE: North Wales Ambulance service told us today: “We were called at 9.46pm last night, Wednesday 12 August, to reports a man had taken ill near the summit of Dinas Bran in Llangollen.

“We sent an emergency ambulance to the scene, which was supported by a Search and Rescue helicopter.
The man was airlifted to Wrexham Maelor Hospital.”

Original story below…
A Search and Rescue helicopter has landed by the RAFA Club on Ruthin Road this evening, with patient(s) transferred to the Maelor in an ambulance.

The Sikorsky S-92A was operational late this evening at a yet unknown incident towards Llangollen. Several people in Llangollen around 11pm reported helicopter activity with search lights being used.

Many Wrexham.com’ers heard, and those out meteor spotting saw, the helicopter coming in very low over town and landing.

Around 11:45pm the helicopter returned to its base, believed to be in Caernarfon.
