Helicopter ER: Season 2, Episode 8

2 - 8: Episode 8

An articulated lorry is in collision with a car, trapping its elderly driver in the upturned wreckage. Paramedic Paul is called to a premature baby with breathing difficulties and there's a desperate race to fly mum and child to specialists 30 miles away for life saving treatment.

A biker is badly hurt after a crash with a car and the team must treat him in a bed of stinging nettles. Elsewhere a workman breaks his neck after he falls from a ladder while mending a roof and paramedics Al and Lisa are faced with a difficult rescue. On the Yorkshire Wolds, a car engine is catapulted 50 metres after a head-ln smash that leaves a passenger requiring a flight to hospital.

Finally a handyman is badly hurt in a domestic accident – and on famous Ilkley Moor, a walking holiday ends with a painful accident and a helicopter rescue.
