A man has died following a single vehicle road traffic collision yesterday afternoon (Sunday).
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Purley Chase Lane in Mancetter, near Atherstone at 4.24pm and sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer, a MERIT trauma doctor and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Staffordshire to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Upon arrival, ambulance crews discovered a car that had left the road and crashed into a tree.
“There was one patient, a man, who was the driver. He was found to be in a critical condition and ambulance staff worked alongside other emergency service colleagues to free him from the vehicle.
“Crews provided advanced life support but sadly, despite their best efforts, it became apparent nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.”
