Who ya gonna call?
30th July, 2013
Visiting Liverpool soccer fan Ian McDonald was enjoying Docklands until he suffered a punctured tyre on his wheelchair on July 24.
Being a visitor to Melbourne he did not immediately know how to fix the problem.
So he was relieved when RACV roadside assistance came to his rescue after a few quick phone calls.
The RACV serviceman was unphased by Mr McDonald’s unusual request. Apparently it is more common that you would think for wheelchair users to call for help.
Mr McDonald, visiting Docklands from New Zealand with his wife Michelle, was back on the “road” in no time.
He has owned this particular chair for two years but had suffered two punctures in the last two weeks.
