A diabetic man said he was left waiting six hours for a recovery truck to tow his newly bought car after he broke down.
Christopher Summers, 63, was travelling to one of his businesses when his Vauxhall Mokka started losing power in Aberdare at 4pm on Monday, October 26. Mr Summers logged the breakdown with RAC via the website and said that as he's diabetic, he was "lucky" to have broken down near a pub to wait for help, as diabetics need to eat regularly to ensure their blood sugar remains stable.
He said: "I'm diabetic and it's so lucky there was a Wetherspoons nearby. With everything being so tight recently it's lucky I had enough money for food. But I was just waiting around - all in all, it took from 4pm until 12am before I got a lift back home. I got in about 12.45am." A spokesperson from RAC has since said that they checked Mr Summers had his medication with him and have paid for his evening meal as a gesture of goodwill.
