A woman in her 90s has been seriously injured after being struck by a golf buggy at Whitstable and Seasalter Golf Club, prompting a major emergency response and an airlift to a London hospital.
Eyewitness Paul George, 83, who lives across from the club, described the emergency as “a major incident”:
“We saw two ambulances, a paramedic, and then the helicopter land on the course. It was quite a dramatic and noisy scene, and they all made their way up to the second par.”
Photos from the scene show multiple emergency vehicles parked in the club’s car park and on the greens, with a sign placed outside stating the club was closed.

The air ambulance reportedly departed shortly after stabilising the patient, while ground crews remained on-site into the afternoon.
As of now, the golf club remains temporarily closed as the incident is reviewed by police and safety officials.
