Did it take 20 minutes for an ambulance to reach the scene of the Korumburra tragedy?

The questions about the state of rural ambulance services won’t go away. On Saturday a 49-year-old Warragul woman was killed and three people injured when a ute drove into them as they walked home from a party in Korumburra. The Herald Sun reports that:

Witnesses said it took up to 20 minutes for an ambulance to get to the horrific South Gippsland crash…….

….“It seemed like forever until the ambulance came, people were ringing and saying: `Where the hell are you?’ ”

Korumburra’s ambulance station is only manned by one paramedic. Bronwyn Pike needs to tell us:

How long was it before the first ambulance reached the scene of the accident?

How long was it before any back-up crews were able to get there from Leongatha?
