Two injured following collision in North Shropshire
A woman received advanced pre hospital care by medics at the scene of a two vehicle collision in Peplow last night.
The collision involving a car and a van happened on the A442 in Peplow, near Hodnet shortly after 10.30pm.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said:
“A woman, believed to be in her 20s, was trapped in the car by her legs. Upon assessment, ambulance staff and the doctor found that the woman had sustained a suspected fractured pelvis. The medical team worked to stabilise the woman’s condition, administering fluids and analgaesia, whilst the fire service worked around them to carefully extricate the woman from the wreckage.
“Once released, the woman was fully immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board before being taken to one of the region’s major trauma centres at University Hospital North Staffordshire for further emergency treatment. The MERIT doctor travelled with the patient to hospital to continue treatment and monitoring en route.
“A second patient, a man, sustained a foot injury in the collision. He was treated at the scene before being taken to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.”
