According to the folks at British Airways, Ryder's flight from L.A. to Heathrow was given priority landing at the London airport because a female passenger required medical attention.
"Our cabin crew looked after the female passenger as much as they could onboard and our passenger services staff also accompanied her to the local hospital,'' reads a statement from the airline. "We wish her well."
