INCIDENT LEFT TOM 'LUCKY TO BE ALIVE'

- By MARK PAGE

THE horrific ordeal suffered by a cyclist who ended up trapped under a van following a crash in East Yorkshire featured on a TV show featuring the vital work of Yorkshire Air Ambulance service.

Tom Jones, 60, had barely started his afternoon cycling trip and was just a few hundred metres from his house when he was involved in the serious collision near Howden.

The force hurled him from his bicycle and beneath the van, where he was pulled along the tarmac before becoming wedged under the engine compartment and exhaust for over half an hour.

Emergency paramedics started initial care at the scene while Fire and Rescue teams worked to free Tom from under the motor.

The harrowing story featured in the latest episode of Yorkshire Air 999, which was broadcast on Really and discovery+ last night.

Yorkshire Air Ambulance's (YAA) Topcliffe-stationed Critical Care Unit, made up of paramedics Danny Cooper and Andy Watson, were dispatched to the scene, completing the 17-minute flight to deliver specialist medical assistance.
