A petrified mum has told of her nightmare experience trying to navigate roadworks to get to the hospital while she thought her baby was 'dying' right next to her.
Dawn Nelson, 35, has called for a rethink of the diversion route having been forced to rush her nine-month-old daughter Dulcie to A&E in May when she was struggling to breathe, having been told that an ambulance could take 45 minutes.
Dawn, from Wistaston, hindered by a closure as well as a 10.6 mile diversion, and began to panic. A paramedic, who had made it to her house before she got to Leighton Hospital, Crewe, had to give her directions on the phone, Cheshire Live writes.
