A teenager has suffered a very serious head injury after a collision with a car on a dual carriageway.
The incident happened on College Road in the Perry Barr area of Birmingham at 8.30am this morning (Thursday).
An ambulance was on the scene in seven minutes and was backed up by a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford with the MERIT Trauma doctor on board.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, ambulance staff found a 16-year-old boy in the road in a serious condition.
“On assessment, the doctor decided to anaesthetise the teenager due to his condition. He was then taken by ambulance the short distance to the helicopter and airlifted to the Major Trauma Centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
“The car driver was uninjured but understandably shaken.”
