A 76-year-old Australian woman suffered severe head injuries when she fell as she was on a walk in Comino yesterday afternoon.

She was with her 77-year-old husband near the Blue Lagoon when she lost her balance after a stone was dislodged from under her foot, the police said.

An armed forces helicopter flew a medical team to the site and then took the woman to the Gozo General Hospital.
