A woman who fell almost 200 feet down cliffs on Jersey’s north coast has been winched to safety by a French rescue helicopter.

The emergency services – including the French helicopter, the Fire and Rescue Service, ambulance teams and the lifeboats – were all scrambled late on Saturday evening.

Dramatic footage shot by Jersey’s Fire and Rescue Service shows the woman being winched to safety.

The 59-year-old woman, whose name isn't being released, was treated in hospital, but only suffered minor cuts and bruises.
