Man died after crash in Amblecote, ambulance service says

A woman who was driving another car also suffered potentially serious injuries in the incident on the afternoon of Friday December 15, which left the busy Amblecote High Street closed to traffic for some hours. West Midlands Ambulance Service today confirmed two ambulances, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor with a Critical Care Paramedic and the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car were sent to the scene after reports of a two-car crash came in at 1.46pm. A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service told the News: “On arrival, we discovered two patients.

“The first was a man who was the driver of the first car who is believed to have suffered a medical incident at the wheel.

“He received advanced life support from ambulance staff at the scene but unfortunately it became clear that nothing more could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased.”

The second patient was a woman, who had been driving another car, and the ambulance service spokesperson said: “She was assessed and had sustained potentially serious injuries that were not believed to be life threatening, she received treatment at the scene and was conveyed to Russells Hall Hospital for further treatment.”
