A two car RTC in Birmingham last night has left a boy in a critical condition.
West Midlands Ambulance Service received multiple 999 calls reporting a two car RTC at the junction of Sisefield Road and Primrose Hill, Kings Norton, Birmingham shortly before 6.00pm yesterday (Tuesday). Two ambulances, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma team, a critical care paramedic and a Midlands Air Ambulance responded to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When ambulance staff arrived, they found an off-duty nurse and police colleagues performing CPR on a boy, a passenger from one of the vehicles involved. The team of ambulance staff quickly took over resuscitation efforts to administer advanced life support which successfully restarted his heart. The boy was rapidly conveyed by land ambulance on blue lights and sirens to Birmingham Children’s Hospital for further emergency care.
“The driver of the same car, a woman, was assessed and found with injuries not believed to be serious. She was treated on scene before being taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
“Two occupants of the second car, a man and woman, were assessed and found to have sustained minor injuries. Both were left in the care of police colleagues.”
