A woman had to guide a lost ambulance to her dying husband while she was pregnant.

The tragic death of 31-year-old Aaron Morris has left his family and loved ones devastated. Aaron had been involved in a motorbike collision in County Durham on July 1, 2022, and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. However, he suffered a cardiac arrest on the way and unfortunately passed away later that day.

The inquest into Aaron's death heard that it took nearly an hour for the paramedics to arrive at the scene, causing distress and concern for Aaron and his pregnant wife, Samantha. As the ambulance made its way to the nearest hospital, Samantha, who was 13 weeks pregnant at the time, helped direct the paramedics with the assistance of the police. Despite their best efforts, Aaron ultimately could not be saved.

The paramedics, David Robinson and Andrew Fyfe, were not familiar with the area as they were based north of the River Tyne. This lack of familiarity may have contributed to the delay in reaching the hospital. However, Samantha made it clear that she did not blame the paramedics for the tragedy.

Andrew, the paramedic who responded to the incident, described Aaron's injuries as severe and was concerned that he may not survive. He was crying out in pain and it was a race against time to get him the medical attention he needed.

It was revealed at the inquest that the ambulance had been escorted by the police to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle. However, when Aaron went into cardiac arrest, Andrew instructed the driver, David, to divert to the nearest hospital, the University Hospital of North Durham. Samantha helped direct David, but it was later discovered that the ambulance's navigation system could have been re-routed. However, this would have required the vehicle to pull over and would have added extra time to the journey.

David explained that he had asked Samantha for directions because he was not familiar with the area. He had been heading towards the RVI, which was in the opposite direction of the hospital they needed. Samantha did an amazing job of guiding them until the police escort took over again.

The inquest also heard that an investigation had been carried out following a complaint from Samantha to the North East Ambulance Service. The investigation concluded that the driver of the third-party ambulance, Ambulanz, was correct in asking for directions in the circumstances.

Samantha, who was also present at the hospital during the incident, confirmed that David was quite shaken and relieved to have spoken to someone about what had happened. She also mentioned that this was the first time someone had gone into cardiac arrest in the back of an ambulance during David's time as a driver.

Since this tragic incident, David has left his role as an emergency care assistant and now works in mental health support. The inquest into Aaron's death continues as his loved ones mourn the loss of a husband, father, and soon-to-be father of twins.
