Default Haymarket crash: Several injured as double-decker bus smashesinto cars in busy West End street


I would like to know who arrived at the scene first.
The Ambulance, the car or the Cycle Responder?


I have never seen a cyclist capable of taking an injured person to
hospital.



I have never seen a motorbike that was capable of taking an injured
person to hospital but there are still motorbike paramedics.

Bicycle ambulances are still in use in third world countries, they are
often trailered by a bicycle.

There are motorcycle ambulances and they have been used for at least a
hundred years, some capable of carrying two injured, they are usually
outfits (motorcycle with sidecar) some are more like tuk-tuks.


Facts about the cycle response unit:

Cycle responders attend approximately 16,000 calls a year.
They resolve around 50 per cent of all incidents at the scene.
Their average response time to calls is six minutes.
