WOMAN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN STONE RTC
A pedestrian has been blue lighted by ambulance to a major trauma centre following a road traffic collision in Stone this afternoon.
West Midlands Ambulance Service received multiple 999 calls to reports of an RTC involving a pedestrian and a lorry on Christchurch Way, Stone. Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford with a BASICS doctor and paramedic on board attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When ambulance staff arrived on scene, they found bystanders and an off-duty nurse providing first aid to a pedestrian, a woman, who had been involved in a collision with a lorry. The woman, who was in a serious condition, received advanced trauma care from ambulance clinicians to stabilise her injuries before being conveyed by land ambulance on blue lights to Royal Stoke University Hospital for further specialist trauma care.”
