A MAN suffered a number of serious injuries after he was trapped beneath his car following a crash in Romsley.

Ambulance, fire and police crews attended the scene of a two-car crash outside Bluebird Park on Bromsgrove Road, Romsley shortly before 7pm on Monday, February 19.

A paramedic officer, an ambulance and a MERIT trauma doctor attended the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “When ambulance crews arrived they found two cars which had collided; one had overturned.

"A man, thought to be the driver, was trapped beneath the overturned car and was in a serious condition.

"Ambulance staff worked to treat the man, who had suffered a number of serious injuries, whilst the fire service worked around them to carefully release him from the wreckage.

“Once freed, which took around 30 minutes, the man was given advanced pain relief and other trauma treatment before being taken by land ambulance on blue lights to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

“A woman, in her 50s, had managed to get out of the second vehicle upon arrival of the emergency services. She was assessed by crews and was found with seat belt related injuries. She was given pain relief before being taken to the same hospital for further checks.”
