Baby girl died after ambulance staff got lost twice and stopped to refuel despite another vehicle being available just a few miles away

A three-month-old baby died after an ambulance took three times the target time to reach her because it stopped to refuel and then got lost twice. Bella Hellings' mother Amy Carter called for an ambulance when the infant suffered a fit at home and stopped breathing. But instead of reaching the infant within the recommended eight minutes it took paramedics - who were the third ambulance to be called - 26 minutes to arrive at the scene. The health trust responsible for the crew has now identified a 'catalogue of errors' in a damning report into the tragedy.
