Three people have been taken to hospital after a collision in Stone last night.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 9.09pm to Lichfield Road and sent two ambulances, two paramedic officers and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found one car had come off the road.

“The driver, a man, was in a critical condition.

“After being removed from the vehicle with the assistance of fire crews, ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support.

“He was then conveyed via land ambulance to Royal Stoke University Hospital.

“The passengers, a woman and a female child, were both treated for potentially serious injuries and conveyed to the same hospital also via land.”
