Five patients required hospital treatment after receiving treatment from ambulance staff at the scene of a two-car RTC last night.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the incident on Birmingham New Road in Coseley at 7.09pm and sent three ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival crews discovered two cars that had been in collision with a total of seven occupants.

“One of the patients was trapped in their car and had to be cut free with assistance from the fire service.

“In total, ambulance staff assessed and treated five patients, all of whom were treated for injuries not believed to be serious before being taken to New Cross Hospital.

“The remaining two occupants of the cars, did not wish to be assessed.”
