It took them 23 minutes to reach the hospital.The chargesheet described Nulife Hospital as "a small two-storey nursing home with limited facilities" and alleged that the delay resulted in the "wastage of the golden hour of trauma care."Police had earlier claimed that an ambulance with a driver and paramedic reached the spot minutes after the crash, but the accused refused their assistance."No fault has been found on the part of the ambulance staff as the accused deliberately refused help and delayed medical assistance," the chargesheet said.
