Tributes have been paid by the family of a grandmother who died when she was "blown over" by a helicopter landing.
Jean Langan, 87, died on Friday, March 4 after the coastguard aircraft landed at a helipad at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency confirmed the helicopter was flying a patient in for treatment at the time of the tragic incident, reports PlymouthLive.
Gael Hill, Jean's niece, told The Sun that her aunt was "blown off her feet" by the helicopter as she walked through a car park near the hospital's helipad on Friday. Gael was taking her aunt to a hospital appointment when the tragedy occurred where the family believe the downdraft from the helicopter caused both of them to fall to the ground.
