Three injured in two car collision near Bridgnorth
Three young women were hurt in a two vehicle crash on the outskirts of Bridgnorth last night.
The two car collision happened at just before 10.00pm on the A454 at Hermitage Hill road to Wolverhampton.
The cars, a silver Ford Fiesta heading down Hermitage Hill towards Bridgnorth and a silver Peugeot 206 travelling in the opposite direction, both suffered considerable front end damage.
A 19 year old woman was trapped in the wreckage of the first car for a time. Ambulance staff worked with firefighters to free her while treating the woman for a serious leg injury. After the roof of the car had been removed, she was immobilised using a neck collar and spinal board before being taken by ambulance to Princess Royal Hospital in Telford.
A 16 year old girl from the second car had managed to get out of the vehicle before crews arrived. She had suffered serious but not life threatening injuries to her chest, abdomen and back. She was also taken by ambulance to the Princess Royal Hospital.
An 18 year old woman from the second car was checked over but chose not to go to hospital with the ambulance service. She left the scene with her father, who had attended the scene.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: "We are investigating the circumstances and appealing for anyone who saw what happened to contact Bridgnorth police station on 0300 333 3000."
