A man has died after a collision involving two cars in Birmingham yesterday.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 6.06pm to the junction of Drews Lane and Ward End Road in Ward End and sent four ambulances, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor, two critical care paramedics and the Trust’s Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found one of the cars had ended up on its side and there were eight patients.”
“A man in the first car was found in a critical condition.” After being removed from the vehicle with the assistance of fire colleagues, ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support.”
“Sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene”.
“Two men from the same car were treated for injuries not believed to be serious and both were conveyed on blue lights to Heartlands Hospital for further treatment”.
“Five patients from the second car – two adults and three children – were assessed but did not require treatment and so were given self-care advice and discharged at the scene.”
“A ninth patient, not involved in the collision, was assessed by medics but did not require hospital treatment and was discharged at the scene”.
