A US Airways flight made an emergency diversion to Bermuda International Airport on Saturday, to off load an 86-year-old man, who fainted on the flight.

The man was treated and released from the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital and left on a later flight.

Flight 2134 was on its way from Philadelphia to St. Thomas when the man collapsed and said to have weak vital signs - he was rushed to hospital, with the flight eventually continuing on to its destination.
