A London Ambulance Service paramedic died a training accident involving a motorcycle in north Wales.
Mark Pell, 51, was involved in a five-vehicle crash in Conwy County on Thursday, the BBC reported.
“I understand Mark was often referred to by his colleagues as the ‘mother hen’ – this was due to his desire to ensure everyone and everything was looked after. I hear it was not uncommon to see Mark three hours after his shift had ended; tidying up, restocking and generally ensuring the station had what it needed to run efficiently,” Chief Executive Daniel Elkeles said in a statement.
“Mark will be remembered for the absolute care and support that he offered to his colleagues, which was only surpassed by the care and compassion he gave to his patients. Mark undoubtedly exemplified everything that is great about the London Ambulance Service, and London and Londoners owe him a massive debt of gratitude for his 28 years of dedicated service. He will be greatly missed.
“My thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Mark’s father, Roger, mother, Marilyn, sister, Sarah, and partner, Sarah Jane at this extremely difficult time.”
