Amazing videos with some unbelievable police driving.
From www.ukemergency.co.uk-
"It was 8 May 1987. At the Cromwell Hospital in London a transplant patient's body was chronically rejecting her recently replaced liver. A nationwide search located a suitable donor organ in Hull, and so began a life or death race against time to bring that organ to London. The plane that was flying it to London was delayed by fog. This meant that there was very little time to get the liver from the airport to the hospital. The ambulance service did not have a fast enough vehicle. The police helicopter was grounded. So it was down to two Metropolitan police cars to make the last vital stage of the journey. The medical operation had already been started and surgeons were awaiting the arrival of the liver. If it was not there by 12:30 pm, the police were told to abort the run as it would be too late."
