Family of Melvyn Ryan say he could have died if they had not driven him in a van as no ambulances available
The family of an 89-year-old man with a broken hip and shoulder and a cut head who had to be taken to hospital strapped to a plank in the back of a van because there were no ambulances have said he could have died had they not found a makeshift way of getting him to safety.Wales
“I couldn’t really believe what I was being told,” said Lea, a 27-year-old firefighter and Ryan’s main carer since his wife, Maureen, died of Covid in 2020. “I ended up, with my partner and Mum’s help, getting him on to a plank of wood and into the back of the van we bought to transport our dogs. Ryan was taken to Grange university hospital in the early hours of Friday. “It’s only because of teamwork, brainstorming and quick thinking that the three of us managed to get Grandad to hospital within a couple of hours,” Lea said.
