ITV News Correspondent Sam Holder hears the tributes being paid to Mr Daw
Jeremy Daw, known to friends as Jack, died on Saturday morning when his ambulance was struck by an object as he responded to a 999 call in Herefordshire.
The 66-year-old, who was in the front passenger seat at the time, had only returned to the West Midlands Ambulance Service in January this year, having retired as a paramedic in November 2020.
Mr Daw, described as a “remarkable character” and “one of life’s good guys”, died at the scene while his paramedic crewmate – who was driving the vehicle – was also injured.

Pic - WMAS EMERGENCY services chiefs have paid tribute to West Midlands Ambulance Service technician Jeremy Daw who died while on duty after an object struck the windscreen of an ambulance responding to a 999 call. Mr Daw, known as Jack, died at the scene of the incident on the A49 in Herefordshire yesterday (Saturday April 24) despite the best efforts of medical colleagues who tried to save his life. The 66-year-old, from Hereford, had dedicated almost three decades to the ambulance service before retiring last year but just a few months ago he decided to return to the frontline to assist during the coronavirus pandemic.
