A man received trauma care by ambulance staff after being seriously injured in a road traffic collision in Hereford last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to reports of a serious collision involving a car and a pedestrian on the A4110, Mortimers Cross, Hereford shortly before 6.00pm yesterday (Monday). An ambulance, paramedic officer, two MARS doctors and Midlands Air Ambulance Charity from Strensham responded to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When ambulance staff arrived at the scene they found a pedestrian, a man, in a serious condition. The team of medics worked together to assess his serious injuries before administering trauma care to stabilise his condition.
“The man was airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, a major trauma centre, for further emergency care.”
