An investigation has been launched into how a poorly pensioner was locked inside an ambulance for five hours when its driver forgot about him and clocked off duty.
The 65-year-old man was trapped inside the vehicle - a non-emergency ambulance used for ferrying patients to appointments - at Sharston ambulance station in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester.
The kidney patient was locked inside from 7.15pm on Tuesday to nearly 1am the following day. The driver, who was supposed to return him to his care home in nearby Northenden from a hospital appointment, has been suspended.
