A Victorian paramedic claims he was hung out to dry by Ambulance Victoria after he rolled his ambulance into an embankment at the end of an 18-hour shift. Jim Avard started his shift last Wednesday at 7am and finished at 1.30am on Thursday morning, just across the border in Corowa, NSW.
Paramedic slams Ambulance Victoria for response to crash. He had just dropped off his partner in northeastern Victoria and was continuing home, driving at 90km/h, when he dozed off and veered off the road and down an embankment. The experienced paramedic of 23 years became trapped and was freed by another ambulance crew before he was flown to hospital. “I just couldn’t believe it happened to me,” Avard said, admitting it’s possible he fell asleep.
