A MUM who waited more than 40 minutes for an ambulance after being injured in a collision with a car in Burnham has thanked all those who rushed to her aid.

Becky Neill, 42, spent 24 hours at Broomfield Hospital with a fractured coccyx after she was in a collision with a car outside the Burnham Co-op last Wednesday afternoon.

Although “battered and bruised”, Mrs Neill said she had been moved by the flurry of people who came to her aid as she waited for an ambulance near the junction of the B1021 and Foundry Lane.

She said: “I’m very lucky, the ambulance took more than 40 minutes to get to me, but in the meantime I had so many amazing, lovely people come and help.”
