“It appears that the patient tried to get out of his car and did not realize the vehicle was still moving,” NSW Ambulance Superintendent Greg Marshall wrote in a statement.
“He somehow put the vehicle back in gear and put his left foot on the accelerator, causing the car to run over his right foot.
“Fortunately, there were two craftsmen who were out on the street and managed to use their belts as tourniquets.
“When we arrived, we put in two more turnstiles. The actions of the cronies undoubtedly helped to save the patient’s life.’
