Police have renewed an appeal for witnesses and footage after four people - including a patient - were injured in a crash involving an ambulance and a van in Lancaster.
Emergency services were called at just after 2pm yesterday (Tuesday, June 30) after the collision between a Ford Transit van which was parked at the roadside and a Renault Master patient transport ambulance.
