A woman was forced to strap her grandad to a plank of wood and drive him to hospital in the back of a van after being told no ambulances were available.
Woman strapped her grandad with a broken hip to a plank and drove him to the hospital herself after being told no ambulances were available
But after calling 999 for an ambulance upon arriving at the pensioner’s house, she was told none were available and that no one would be coming to help.
