A man has died and a second has been taken to hospital following a single vehicle road traffic collision yesterday (Monday).
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Arley Lane in Nuneaton at 3.23pm and sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews discovered a car that had crashed from which there were two male patients.
“One of the men was found to be in a critical condition and ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support. However, despite their best efforts it sadly became apparent nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
“A second man, who had managed to get himself out of the car, was treated for potentially serious injuries before being taken to George Elliot Hospital by land ambulance.”
