airlift

The woman was airlifted to Dover, but was pronounced dead, police said.

Six people died at the scene; the driver and another passenger were airlifted to trauma centers for treatment, according to California Highway Patrol.

He too was airlifted to safety by the coastguard, which was unaware of the navy operation.

The 40-year-old Briton was airlifted to hospital after sustaining five broken ribs, a collapsed lung and a lumbar vertebrae fracture in the training crash.

There were 90 helicopter flights on Monday to airlift survivors out of remote villages in Kunar province.
