The South Western Ambulance Service spent more than £500,000 on private ambulances in the last financial year; almost all for emergencies.

A BBC investigation shows the NHS is spending three times as much on private ambulances for 999 calls compared to four years ago. 

The ambulance trust said one of the main reasons was what it described as an unprecedented increase in demand for services, which rose by more than 5% in the last financial year.

A man who was falsely accused of killing two people in a hit and run collision in Cornwall has told the BBC how his life fell apart and he had to leave his home because of the "hatred" he endured.

Twenty-seven-year-old Rupert Thompson (pictured) was arrested after his best friend, Ryan Morrish, tried to frame him for the crime, even though he wasn't there. 

Months later, Morrish was eventually jailed after admitting he had been driving the car which hit and killed Calvin Trevena and Annie Varran, near St Agnes.
