A SUSPECTED stroke victim had a second seizure after being left for three hours in an ambulance at a hospital.

Martin Hughes' family are demanding answers, saying the wait could have killed the pensioner.

Martin, 69, from Drymen, in Stirlingshire, suffered a stroke on Monday and he was rushed to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QEUH).

But when he arrived there was a queue of ambulances and it was three hours before he was taken into a "holding area".

As the ambulance crew handed him over there, he had what appeared to be a second stroke.
