"We were quickly then redeployed to help tow an ambulance up a steep icy road nearby with a critically ill patient on board."

The second incident took place in Thorpe House Road, Norton Lees.

Locals had to use spades and shovels to help dig a Yorkshire Ambulance Service vehicle out of the snow so the patient could be transported to hospital.
