Two women have been fatally injured and a man has been conveyed to hospital following a road traffic collision in Ludlow last night (Monday).
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 9.37pm to a road traffic collision involving two cars on New Road, Ludlow. Three ambulances, two paramedic officers, a Critical Care Car from Midlands Air Ambulance Charity and a BASICS emergency doctor attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon arrival we found three patients, two women and a man.
“The first and second, a woman who was the driver of the first car and a woman who was a passenger in the second car. Both were in a critical condition and received advanced life support from ambulance staff at the scene.
“Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of ambulance staff it became clear that nothing more could be done to save them and they were confirmed deceased at the scene.
“The third, a man who was the driver of the second car. He was assessed and had sustained serious injuries. He received advanced trauma care at the scene before being conveyed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for further treatment.”
