Sunday 1 May - A 31 yr old man hit by bus in centre of Cambridge

Dr Jon Birks & paramedic Gary Spitzer were flown to the scene by Magpas & Police helicopter at approximately 3pm. The Helimedix team provided the man with A&E level care and continued to treat him whilst escorting him to hospital by land ambulance. Despite all the efforts made by the Helimedix team, sadly the man later died from the injuries he sustained.

@christopherpostill Thanks for the link. There were certainly a lot of medics crowding around the cyclist for a long time prior to going in an ambulance... it seemed a little strange not to take them away quickly to the hospital. Perhaps it was already too late.
