			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A wheel fell off an ambulance as it took an elderly woman to hospital.It shot off across the road leaving Renee Brady, 81 – who had injured herself in a fall &#8211; facing an agonising wait for another vehicle.</p>
<p>Paramedics retrieved the wheel from a garden, using it to prop up the stricken vehicle to prevent it toppling over. Renee’s son Paul Brady, who had been following the ambulance in his car, said: “There was a massive bang and the ambulance dropped to the left.</p>
<p>The wheel came bouncing towards me, went over a car and came to rest in a garden.“The ambulance was screeching and at an angle. It was obviously on its axle. “The crew were as gob-smacked as me. The door was opened gingerly and my mum was on the trolley. “She didn’t know what the hell was going on. I felt so sorry for her. She was shaking.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Canada &#8211; A Winnipeg paramedic hit by a suspected drunk driver is speaking out to highlight the dangers he and his colleagues face while on the job.</p>
<p>On Monday, three vehicles were involved in a collision around 5:45 p.m. at Corydon Avenue and Stafford Street.</p>
<p>Paramedic Cory Wilson was on his way back to the station from another call when he came upon the collision and stopped to help.</p>
<p>Moments later, he would be hit himself.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just heard the noise and the truck hit me and I stumbled a few steps and wondered what was going on,&#8221; said Wilson.</p>
<p>He was helping a woman inside a pickup truck when he was hit by another truck.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A biker lying injured in the road after falling from his motorcycle died after he was run over by an Ambulance responding to a separate 999 call.</p>
<p>Michael James Colley, 33, from Calne, had come off his Suzuki GSXR in the early hours of Sunday morning as he rode along the A4 at Black Dog Hill.</p>
<p>Two passers-by stopped their car to help and found him unconscious but breathing and phoned for an ambulance.</p>
<p>Shortly afterwards an ambulance transporting a patient to Bath’s Royal United Hospital drove towards them and collided with Mr Colley, who was still lying in the road.</p>
<p>A Great Western Ambulance Service spokesman said the ambulance was &#8220;travelling under emergency conditions &#8211; with blue lights but no sirens and not at speed&#8221;.</p>
