Paramedics were called to the scene of a nasty fall in Holt Green, Aughton yesterday afternoon after a pensioner out walking with his wife tripped on the pavement, gashing his head.
A number of passers by, including QLocal's Roger Blaxall - on his way to Maghull via Town Green - came to his aid with his wife calm enough to phone 999 from the roadside on Bold Lane.
QLocal is awaiting an update from the NWAS PR team on the man's condition.
