Five people have been injured, two seriously, after a collision near Leamington Hastings, Rugby last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 11.04pm to Southam Road and sent three ambulances, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor with critical care paramedic and Critical Care Cars from Midlands Air Ambulance and the Air Ambulance Service to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found one car had come off the road and hit a tree.
“One man, who was found out of the car, was in a critical condition and ambulance staff immediately administered advanced trauma care.
“He was conveyed to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.
“A second man was treated by medics for serious injuries and taken to the same hospital.
“Three further patients, a man and two teenage girls, were treated for injuries not believed to be serious before they were all conveyed to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.”
