A pedestrian suffered serious injuries following a collision with a car in Walsall overnight.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the junction of Green Lane and Blue Lane West at 00.14am this morning (Friday) and sent one ambulance, two paramedic officers and the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car to the scene. An off-duty paramedic also stopped to offer assistance.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews discovered one patient, a man, who was a pedestrian.
“He was found to have suffered multiple serious injuries in the incident for which ambulance staff immediately began administering treatment.
“The man was then taken on blue lights and sirens to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, for further assessment.
“There were no other injuries in the incident.”
