Emergency services rushed to the scene at Booths supermarket in Clitheroe on Thursday afternoon.
A man had fallen ill in the carpark and was taken to hospital for treatment.
In a statement released today, Lancashire Police said,
“Just an update for incident that generated some attention in Clitheroe yesterday afternoon.
We were requested by our colleagues from NWAS and the Air Ambulance Service to attend the castle grounds to assist with clearing the playing field of people whilst the helicopters were landing and taking off. There were two helicopters in attendance for the same, one incident.
Unfortunately, a man was taken ill on Booths car park and NWAS requested the assistance of the Air Ambulance due to his condition. He was transported by helicopter to hospital where he remains and is receiving the best possible care.
Just a thank you to everyone who was in the park yesterday afternoon at the time and showed us patience and understanding whilst we closed off the area to let the paramedics deliver treatment.
