A member of the public, who was driving along the A4010 between Loosley Row and Saunderton Lee said: “I was driving towards Risborough when I noticed a very bright light in the sky.
“It was raining, and I thought it couldn’t be a plane, then it hit me that it was an air ambulance.
“It had obviously just been to or near the town’s Tesco, so I hope the person involved is OK.”
Thames Valley Police were unable to comment, whilst the Thames Valley Air Ambulance said: “We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident in Princes Risborough today.”
