One man has died and a woman has sustained life-threatening injuries following a road traffic collision between a car and a motorbike in Worcester, last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 5.47pm to Tunnel Hill in Worcester and sent two ambulances, two paramedic officers, the Midlands Air Ambulance, the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and a BASICS emergency doctor to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “On arrival, crews found a man, the motorcyclist, in a critical condition receiving basic life support from a bystander. Crews immediately took over and continued care. Sadly, despite best efforts, nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.
“A woman, the passenger on the motorbike, was found in a life-threatening condition. Crews immediately began administering specialist trauma care, before she was conveyed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital under emergency driving conditions.”
