A woman has sadly died following a road traffic collision in Worcester last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to a collision involving a car and a pedestrian on Malvern Road in Powick at 6.45pm. Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and two Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Cars and a BASICS emergency doctor attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived to find the pedestrian, an elderly woman, to have sustained life-threatening injuries. Ambulance staff administered advanced life support to her at the scene.
Unfortunately, despite the best efforts it became clear that nothing more could be done to save her and she was confirmed deceased at the scene.
“The driver of the car did not require treatment.”
