Aaron Morris, 31, died following a crash on 1 July 2022 in Esh Winning, near Durham.
The death of a motorcyclist who had to wait almost an hour for a paramedic following a crash was caused in part by "failure" in the response time of an ambulance service, a coroner said.
Coroner Crispin Oliver was told it took 54 minutes for an ambulance to get to crash due to high demand. He added such treatment had not occurred speedily due to "overstretched resources" and the failure to deploy a CTL to the crash.
