Two people were taken to hospital following a two-car collision in Herefordshire last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the junction of Ledicot Lane and the B4362 in Shobdon, Leominster at 10.39pm and sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews discovered three patients in total, one of whom, a man, was trapped inside his car.
“Ambulance staff worked closely with fire service colleagues to safely free the man, who was treated for serious injuries before being taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.
“A woman was treated for potentially serious injuries before being taken to Hereford County Hospital whilst a third patient was assessed and discharged at the scene.”

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is an independent healthcare provider. We work in close partnership with NHS Ambulance Services, including West Midlands Ambulance Service and South Western Ambulance Service, to deliver advanced pre-hospital emergency care across the six counties we serve, as well as supporting national responses during major incidents. We are dispatched to cases of the highest severity, where our Critical Care Paramedics and HEMS Doctors – deployed by helicopter or critical care car – work alongside NHS ambulance crews at the scene. Together, we provide specialist interventions, bringing hospital-level emergency medicine directly to incidents in our communities and workplaces when it is needed most.
