Two men were fatally injured and a third required hospital treatment following a two-car RTC over the weekend.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the incident on the A53 in Market Drayton just after midnight on Saturday morning (September 7th) and sent one ambulance, a paramedic officer, a MERIT trauma doctor with a critical care paramedic and the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity Critical Care Car to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, ambulance crews discovered three patients, all men. Sadly, it quickly became apparent that two of the them, the drivers of both cars, could not be saved and they were confirmed dead at the scene .
“The third man, a passenger in one of the cars, was treated for potentially serious injuries before being taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital.”
