A young girl has been taken to hospital in a serious condition following a road traffic collision between a car and a pedestrian this morning.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the junction of Majestic Way and Willow Bank in Aqueduct, Telford at 8.26am 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 a girl, the pedestrian, who had suffered serious injuries in the collision.
“Following treatment at the scene she was taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital on blue light and sirens. The doctor from the Critical Care Car travelled in the back of the ambulance to help continue with treatment en-route to hospital.”
