A PEDESTRIAN who was injured after he was struck by a car in the city yesterday had to make his own way to hospital after he was told there would be “a long wait” for an ambulance.

He suffered minor injuries in the incident, which occurred at the road through Dean Cavanagh Place and Father Albert Place at around 6pm.
