SUPER NURSE

AFTER working a 12-hour shift, nurse Lucy Duncan, 24, went to the aid of an elderly man whose car crashed with hers on Thursday evening. The pensioner, who was drifting in and out of consciousness, told her he’d been trapped indoors with coronavirus symptoms for more than a week.

Lucy, above, who works at the Wigan Infirmary, rang for an ambulance and then waited alongside the 73-year-old at A&E for the next five hours. She says: ‘It was awful to see someone so poorly. He was squeezing my hand as he struggled to take a breath.’

Sadly, the pensioner was reported to have died last night.
