'Ambulance delays made me a widow at 28'

Aaron Morris, 31, died about six hours after colliding with a car on 1 July 2022 in Esh Winning, County Durham.

His widow, Samantha Morris, said she felt "pain and sadness" that even though she had been with him, she had not held his hand because she did not realise he was dying.

The North East Ambulance Service said lessons had been learned and it had taken "a number of actions" after Mr Morris' death.

Sam Thomson reports.
