AN ambulance had to be pulled out of a pothole-ridden road after becoming stuck while responding to a medical emergency.
Paramedics were called to Seawick Road, in St Osyth, at about 7am yesterday after receiving reports the a man was hurt in a fall.
Two ambulances and an air ambulance attended the scene and crews treated a patient.
He was then transported to Colchester Hospital by road for further assessment and care.
Before leaving, the ambulance drivers “experienced difficulties” due to the snowy conditions.
But residents, such as Mark Twin, 49, believe the poor state of the road also played a part.
