Motorcyclist receives advanced trauma care following A41 crash
A motorcycle collision last night saw a man receive pre-hospital care by a team of ambulance staff and medics.
The motorbike was travelling north on the A41 towards Prees Heath when the rider lost control, left the carriageway and collided with a chevron board on the central reservation. The motorcycle also collided with a car.
An off duty doctor stopped to render aid to the injured motorcyclist together with passers-by until West Midlands Ambulance Service arrived after receiving the 999 call just after 7.00pm to the junction of the A41 and Bletchley Road, Bletchley.
The Midlands Air Ambulance from Tatenhill landed at the scene joining a critical care paramedic and MERIT trauma doctor from Cosfords Midlands Air Ambulance who responded by car. Two ambulances, a paramedic area support officer and a second MERIT trauma doctor were also sent.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “When ambulance staff arrived they found a motorcyclist, a man in his 50s, being given excellent first aid by an off duty doctor and members of the public.
“It was quickly evident that the man had sustained very serious injuries which required advanced trauma care at the roadside in order to stabilise his condition.
“Ambulance staff worked as a team to provide a range of pre-hospital treatment to the man before he was airlifted to Royal Stoke University Hospital for specialist trauma treatment; a MERIT doctor travelled to provide ongoing care.”
Police officers investigating the incident would like to hear from anyone who witnessed the collision involving the blue Yamaha motorbike and a grey Nissan Navara Aventura. Anyone with information is asked to call West Mercia Police on 101 quoting incident 651S of 14 July.
