The man is being treated for serious injuries A doctor had her car stolen when she stopped to help a pensioner who had been hit by a bus in Salford. The doctor was driving on Eccles Old Road, in Weaste, when she saw the man, who is in his 70s, had been badly hurt. She stopped to help, but in her haste left the keys in the ignition and her red Renault Clio car was stolen. The man was taken to hospital where he remains in a critical condition. Anyone who sees the car, registration NY05 RZN, is urged to contact police. 'Opportunistic thief' The doctor, who declined to be identified, said she was disheartened by the theft on Wednesday afternoon but that it would not put her off helping people in similar circumstances in the future. "I am very disappointed at what has happened, but I would do the same again," she said. The Insp John Kelly said: "Its unthinkable why someone would take someone's car when they are just trying to help a man who has been seriously hurt. "This woman's compassion has been totally taken advantage of by a pathetic opportunistic thief, and we are determined to catch whoever was responsible."
