This was the aftermath of a medical drama in Burscough last night after a man collapsed outside the row of shops on Liverpool Road South just after 5pm.
He was 'wrapped' in foil and lay on the pavement until an ambulance arrived at the scene.
A spokesman for the NWAS PR office told QLocal this afternoon: "An ambulance and community first responder went to an incident on Liverpool Road South, Burscough, following a 999 call at 17.05 that reported a man had collapsed.
"We took a patient to the hospital suffering a head injury."
