Maddy Lawrence died two weeks after she was injured during a university rugby game.

An inquest into the death of a student rugby player has heard it took more than five hours for an ambulance to arrive after she was injured.

He said it was clear Ms Lawrence had suffered a "nasty injury" from a tackle and play was moved to a different pitch so she could be helped. After further calls at 16:45 and 17:50, a paramedic phoned Mr Tompkins at 18:05. When he asked whether the student's pain was mild, moderate or severe, Mr Tompkins replied: "Ten out of ten." The ambulance arrived at 20:30.

Addressing Ms Lawrence's family after her evidence, she said: "Maddy absolutely needed an ambulance and I'm truly sorry that we weren't able to help her when she needed it most so I'd like to offer an apology."
