A man has died following a road traffic collision involving a car and a pedestrian in Tamworth.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called just after 10pm last night to a collision involving a car and a motorcyclist on Comberford Road, Tamworth. Three ambulances, two paramedic officers and a Critical Care Car from the Air Ambulance Service attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon arrival we found a man who was the motorcyclist in a critical condition. Ambulance staff immediately administered advanced life support to him.
“Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of ambulance staff at the scene, nothing more could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased.
“The driver of the car did not require treatment.”
