Sad homecoming for ‘flying doctor’ Dr John Hinds
Hundreds of bikers have paid their respects to a road racing ‘flying doctor’ with a lap of his favourite track.
Dr John Hinds crashed his motorcycle while providing medical cover at the Skerries 100 race meeting on Friday.
The 35-year-old trauma specialist from Tandragee – who had campaigned vigorously for an air ambulance service in Northern Ireland – was rushed to hospital in Dublin but died on Saturday morning.
