A boy is in a critical condition in hospital after suffering a medical emergency at a Telford trampoline centre.

West Midlands ambulance service says the youngster was taken ill at Airea51 in Stafford Park

Paramedics administered advanced life support which continued en route to the Royal Stoke Hospital where the boy was airlifted to for further treatment.

West Midlands Ambulance Service said an ambulance, paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford were sent to the trampoline park at around 3pm where crews found a child in "critical condition".

A spokesperson added: "Ambulance staff administered advanced life support which continued en route to Royal Stoke Hospital where he was airlifted to for further treatment."
