Debris from ambulance crash near Nantwich is scattered on the road

Nearly four weeks after the incident, debris from the crash involving the paramedic’s car lies strewn and scattered on a busy road near Nantwich.

These images show parts of the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) vehicle involved in the crash on 6 October.

The vehicle went out of control on the muddy ground and flew onto the roof. The paramedic escaped uninjured.

But the ambulance service and Cheshire East Council have so far failed to clear much of the crash debris strewn along the verges next to the Crewe-Nantwich Greenway.

An NWAS spokesman said the crash recovery company “may have missed it in the dark”.

So we approached Cheshire East Council Highways for a comment, but did not receive any response.

The accident involving the paramedic’s vehicle occurred in the early hours of Sunday, October 6.

While no other vehicle was involved in the incident, the paramedic escaped uninjured despite rolling over onto the roof of the vehicle.

The road from Nantwich to Crewe Leighton Hospital was closed and a road sweeper was called to the scene in the Nantwich area to clear a “large mudflat”.

Those responsible for cleaning up the debris of a car accident depend on the circumstances of the accident.

In minor collisions, where there are no injuries and the vehicles can be moved easily, vehicle owners are responsible for clearing the debris.

In more serious or fatal accidents, emergency services and local council crews are responsible for clearing debris and ensuring victims receive medical attention.

If people are injured, local council or emergency services may be contacted to clean up the area.

In some cases, specialist commercial cleaning companies, public street maintenance companies or towing companies may be responsible for cleaning.
