ETA Anything to do with previously broken down ambluance? Yup - woman on the walkway got knocked over by pickup truck - not serious and she walked to the ambulance. Ambulance driver couldn't get the engine started, so another arrived to take the woman to hospital. Broken ambulance left almost straddling the tram lines. Resulting congestion caused by stopped tram with jumpy horse, hordes of bikes just arrived by boat, and assorted busses HGVs and idiot drivers ignoring the best efforts of the police to direct traffic. Ambulance eventually moved after a mechanic arrived with a power pack to jump start it. Gave us something to watch from the office window for a while.

kevster Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 was it a pikey death trap operator that hit the pedestrian? Not sure - I couldn't see the registration from the office. DoI vehicle inspector turned up though and it looked like he impounded the vehicle. ETA: IoM Today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
