Steph Inglis transfers hospital to Thailand after tropical storm delays air ambulance
The family of Inverness judo star Stephanie Inglis have confirmed the 27-year-old is transfering to a hospital in Thailand.
But a tropical storm overnight caused a delay to the air ambulance flight from Vietnam to Bangkok.
In a statement the Inglis family described last night's troubles as "a traumatic night of terrible weather and technical issues with planes."
They believe the Thai hospital has more "advanced treatments" and that the move will give Steph the "best possible chance" of surviving the motorbike accident she suffered in Vietnam.
It happened when her skirt got caught in a wheel as she was being taxied to work on the bike.

The statement on social media added: "We are all excited and relieved to be able to get her to this point.
"We will update everyone later as soon as I know she is safe and settled in her new home and another step closer to recovering."
The hefty cost of giving the Glasgow 2014 medallist the very best care, is being met with the help of online donations.
A fundraising page set up after the motorbike accident in Vietnam has already raised more than a quarter-of-a-million pounds.
Meanwhile the Glasgow 2014 medallist's sporting idol - Sir Chris Hoy - has posted a video message to the judoka. You can watch it above.
Stephanie Inglis' doctors had given the woman from Daviot a 50/50 chance of survival.
Although she'd suffered severe head injuries, swelling of her brain has been reducing since medical staff were able to stop the bleeding, and as a result the pressure's also been going down.
But Steph suffered a setback after contracting a lung infection - a complication from being on life support.
Despite a week-long treatment of antibiotics, the patient has failed to respond to the drugs, and she's since developed pneumonia.
The family have since flown in an infectious diseases specialist doctor from Thailand to help assess and advise on Steph's care.
Healthcare workers said that the 48-hours following a new treatment were "critical".
