Boy suffers head injury after colliding with car in Telford
A boy has suffered a serious head injury in a road traffic collision in Telford this afternoon.
The collision between a car and an 11-year-old boy occurred in Station Road, Madeley at around 3.30pm.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon assessment, crews and the doctor found the young boy had sustained a serious head injury and a suspected fractured arm. Crews administered pain relief to stabilise his condition before they worked to immobilise him with a neck collar and spinal board.
“The boy was then conveyed by land ambulance on blue lights to Birmingham Children’s Hospital; the doctor travelled in the ambulance to hospital to continue treatment en route.
“The driver of the car, a woman, was assessed by ambulance staff but did not require hospital treatment.”
An ambulance, a responder paramedic and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford with a MERIT trauma doctor on board attended the scene.
