Man dies as two cars and motorbike collide in Telford
One man has died and another has been seriously injured following a road traffic collision involving two cars and a motorcycle in Telford this afternoon.
The collision happened on the junction of Haybridge Road and Whitchurch Drive at 1.45pm.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “The motorcyclist and pillion passenger were lying on the road seriously injured and had come to rest approximately 50 feet from the bike they were on.
“The rider, a man, sustained significant multiple injuries. Crews immediately commenced resuscitation on the man at the roadside. Sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead on scene.
“The pillion, a man believed to be in his 30s, suffered severe head, chest, abdominal and leg injuries in the crash. Ambulance crews and the doctor administered pain relief, fluids and oxygen to the man whilst carefully assessing and stabilising his injuries.
“He was immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board and transferred to the awaiting air ambulance, which had landed in a field nearby, before being airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. Medics were pre alerted to the arrival of the man who was said to be in a serious but stable condition.
“The driver of one car involved, a man in his 40s, was in considerable shock. He was taken to Princess Royal Hospital as a precaution.”
