One person has died and another three people have sustained life threatening injuries following a collision in Shifnal last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called shortly after 11pm to a collision involving one car on Offoxey Road in Tong, Shifnal. Three ambulances, three paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic, Hazardous Area Response Team paramedics and a Critical Care Car from Midlands Air Ambulance Charity attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon arrival ambulance staff discovered four occupants of the car, all male.
“We found the first man being cared for by bystanders at the scene. He had sustained life threatening injuries. Sadly, it became clear that nothing more could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene.
“A further three male patients from the car were assessed and had sustained life-threatening injuries. They received advanced trauma care from ambulance staff at the scene.
“Two were conveyed to Royal Stoke Hospital for further treatment and the third was conveyed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.”
“No further patients required treatment.”
