This - as was pointed out by the driver in his evidence - is at least a potentially limb threatening event, and, if an artery has been damaged, potentially life threatening. However since Colin appeared not to even accept the fact that it was an emergency vehicle on legitimate business, it might as easily been someone who had been stabbed, or suffering a drug overdose, heart attack, or choking on their vomit, (or someone else's), and the outcome would, it appears, have been no different. FWIW here is the link that Richard provided. http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/public/c...11stds/3_0.pdf A broken leg can be life-threatening... a friend of mine's brother was knocked over by a car and suffered a compound fracture to his leg. Some of the bone marrow escaped into his blood stream, blocked his lungs and he died, even though the accident happened 1 mile from the County (Buckinghamshire) hospital and he got to A&E and was x-rayed within the hour. |
