Hero horse trainer 'carried famous owner' from helicopter wreckage as passerby 'gave CPR'

A racehorse owner who was injured in a helicopter crash was carried to safety by a trainer before being helped by a jogger who happened to be passing by.

On Tuesday night, Dai Walters and Sam Thomas were among five people injured in the accident, which took place as they travelled back from a pheasant shoot in North Wales. In high winds and heavy rain, the air vehicle collided with a tree and fell near the village of Llanelidan in Ruthin.

Walters, 76, was reported to have suffered more serious injuries than the other passengers and was taken to Glan Clwyd Hospital where he continues to be monitored. And now it has emerged that Thomas, 38, who was released after being treated for minor injuries, carried Walters from the wreckage before a local resident administered CPR to the millionaire.
