Aaron Morris, 31, would have had a 95% chance of surviving the accident but he did not arrive at hospital until nearly three hours after the first 999 call was made. Since the crash took place near his house in Esh Winning, County Durham, on July 1 last year, Mr Morris took 50 minutes to reach him. An air ambulance was on hand to respond, but no one was sent out despite being requested, according to an investigation. And when paramedics finally arrived, they were unable to use the vehicle's sat nav device, which was frustrating.
