A man has died in a two-car road traffic collision in Cannock last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Rawnsley Road, Hednesford, Cannock at 7.45pm (Sunday). Two ambulances, a paramedic officer, a critical care car from the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “On arrival, crews found two cars which had been involved in a serious collision. The driver of one car, a man, was in a critical condition. The team worked together to administer trauma care to the man but sadly nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased on scene. A passenger from the same car, a woman, received trauma care on scene for potentially serious injuries before being conveyed by land ambulance to Royal Stoke University Hospital for further care.
“The driver and passenger from the second car were described as ‘walking wounded’. Both were discharged on scene.”
