Two cut free following A5 collision at Redhill in Telford
Two people were left trapped following a collision in Telford this morning.
The collision involving two cars occurred on the A5 at the junction of Grange Lane, Redhill, at just after 9am.
Three fire appliances from Telford Central were sent to the scene and used hydraulic cutting equipment to release the casualties.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said:
“A woman in her fifties was treated for abdominal injuries at the scene and later conveyed to New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.
“The driver of the second car involved, a man believed to be in his forties, was treated for pelvic injuries. He was given pain relief and immobilised with the use of a neck collar, splint and spinal board before being airlifted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
“A 6-year old child was also travelling in the same car. The patient was uninjured but was taken to Princess Royal Hospital in Telford as a precaution.”
Two ambulances together with the Midlands Air Ambulance based at Tatenhill and the air ambulance medics from Cosford attended the scene along with Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service and West Mercia Police.
