WEST BARNSTABLE, Mass. — When an ambulance — racing to help a man who had collapsed outside his home — became stuck in the snow, neighbors snapped into action with shovels in hand.
The heavy storm that dumped about a foot of snow on the Cape was winding down Sunday afternoon when the ambulance reached the top of Morgan Way, but plows still hadn’t cleared up the fresh layer of precipitation on the road.
Lighter vehicles were still moving around the neighborhood, but the 10-ton, rear-wheel-drive ambulance wasn’t equipped for a trudge through the snow, and it wasn’t going anywhere.
