A cyclist received advanced trauma care by ambulance staff this morning following a collision involving a car.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Queslett Road near to the junction of Netherhall Avenue in Great Barr at 7.40am this morning (29/01). An ambulance, a paramedic officer, a critical care car from the Midlands Air Ambulance and a MERIT trauma doctor responded to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived to find a cyclist, a man, who had been involved in a collision with a car. Upon assessment ambulance staff found he was in a serious condition and required advanced trauma care at the roadside before being conveyed by land ambulance on blue lights to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham for further emergency care; the doctor travelled with the ambulance crew to continue treatment en route.”
