A spokesman for South East Coast Ambulance confirmed that an air ambulance briefly attended the scene after an initial report that the woman was unconscious.

He said the woman was reported conscious and breathing ‘moments later’ and the aircraft was not needed but paramedics assessed and treated the woman at the scene before she was taken to hospital for further checks.
