Another busy day on Humberside

From the Grimbsy Telegraph

The Humberside Police helicopter crew have recounted a potentially "dangerous" incident as they photographed the scene of a crash in Grimsby.

The Oscar99 crew were above Bethlehem Street in Grimsby this morning after two pedestrians were involved in a collision with a van.

Afterwards, the crew took to Twitter to describe the 'vortex ring' incident.

In a series of tweets, they said: "Settled now after a nerve wracking Vortex ring incident mid Photo Task, Not pleasant when the door is open and you're clinging on.

So what exactly is the point of a helicopter for a RTA?

PCSO on a moped could have done the job
