Elderly Hungarian man dies after he falls from ambulance
An 82-year-old man died en route to Kecskemét hospital when an ambulance ran off the road and overturned between Szentkirályi and Tiszakécske, eastern Hungary, on Monday.
The ambulance's driver swerved to the right to avoid a collision with an oncoming lorry. The elderly man, who was being taken to hospital with symptoms of a brain haemorrhage, flew out the window of the ambulance and was then crushed by the overturned vehicle.
