Shocked paramedics recognised a badly injured victim of a road traffic accident as a work colleague.
The 22-year-old nurse, based at the accident and emergency unit of Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, was today fighting for her life after the accident, which happened late on Saturday night.
It is believed the woman was walking home after a night out with colleagues when she was struck by a taxi in Oxford's High Street.
Her condition was today described as "serious" on the hospital's intensive care unit where she once worked.
