A woman has sadly died and a man has been taken to hospital after the car they were travelling in was involved in a collision with a van in Bridgnorth yesterday afternoon.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the A442 near Quatt, Bridgnorth at 3.17pm on Sunday (15th June). A passing ambulance came across the collision and stopped to render aid. They were joined by a second ambulance, paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “A passing ambulance stopped at the scene to find a car and a van which had collided. A woman passenger in the car was being given CPR by bystanders. The crew immediately took over resuscitation efforts and, once joined by WMAS colleagues, the team continued advanced life support on the woman. Sadly, nothing could be done to save the woman and she was confirmed deceased on scene.
“The driver of the car, a man, was assessed by ambulance staff and found with non-life threatening injuries. He was treated on scene before being conveyed to New Cross Hospital for further treatment.”
