An elderly woman has been flown by medical helicopter from a cruise ship off the coast of Massachusetts.
The Coast Guard says its Air Station Cape Cod crew members took the 84-year-old woman Monday off of cruise ship Queen Mary by medevac about 70 miles southeast of Nantucket.
The woman had fallen and sustained a fractured ankle and head injury. She has been transported to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she is in stable condition.
