One patient was airlifted to hospital and two others were taken by land ambulance following a two-car RTC which left both cars alight in Oswestry last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the B4064 at 7.25pm and sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer, the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Staffordshire to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival crews discovered two cars that had suffered significant damage and three patients.
“One of whom, a male, was treated for serious injuries, not believed to be life-threatening, before being airlifted to Royal Stoke University Hospital.
“A man and a woman were treated for injuries not believed to be serious before being taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by land ambulance.”
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.
