A 68-year-old who fell off a mobility scooter into a pond on Thursday has died. Firefighters, police and ambulance crews were called to rescue the man just after 4pm. He had fallen off the scooter into a pond at Mettaford Cross North Devon. He had managed to keep his head above water before being discovered by a police officer who alerted fire crews to help get him out. He was taken to hospital as a precaution but it was confirmed yesterday that the pensioner had passed away on Friday.
