In the footage, a relative is seen opening the back of the ambulance while a nurse was still walking toward the patient when both front wheels collapsed.

Normally, this type of folding happens when the gurney is being placed inside the ambulance.

The patient fell headfirst onto the concrete ground.

FBC News has confirmed the patient is still being treated at Labasa Hospital and the investigation is ongoing.

We have also reached out to the Health Ministry for comments and we are awaiting a response.
