A pensioner was left "moaning in agony" on the pavement after he was left waiting 10 hours for an ambulance, North Wales Live reports. Emlyn Roberts, 69, was left on the pavement while walking along Penrhyn Road in Colwyn Bay at around 12.30pm on Tuesday, March 29.
His family said he was walking in the town centre when he fell over and sustained serious injuries, which left him in horrendous pain. Members of the public found Mr Roberts lying on the pavement complaining of pain in his hip and phoned for an ambulance, but were told to expect delays.
Mr Roberts' sister-in-law, Lynn Roberts, said an ambulance finally arrived just before 11pm, at which point he had been on the ground for more than ten hours. She said: "He was left for ten hours lying on the concrete, you can forgive a couple of hours, even a few hours if necessary, but ten hours is just not acceptable."
