BREAKING NEWS: Serious collision on the A46




Emergency services are currently at the scene of a serious road traffic collision on the A46 at Red Hill near the Stag pub.

Warwickshire police closed the road for around three hours following the collision which involved two vehicles just after 9am.

A woman in her 30s was trapped in her vehicle following the collision and on arrival of the ambulance service was found to have a reduced level of consciousness and potentially a head injury.

The woman was airlifted to University Hospital Coventry and Warwick by the Midlands Air Ambulance.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival, crews found a Nissan and a BMW that had had a substantial impact; both had front offside damage.

“The woman in the Nissan was trapped for about 45 minutes while firefighters and ambulance staff worked to free her while she was being treated.

“The woman, who was in her 30s, had a reduced level of consciousness but was complaining of leg, pelvic and chest pain. She was immobilised and had a pelvic binder put in place before she was airlifted to the Major Trauma Centre at University Hospital Coventry & Warwickshire.

“The man in his 50s who had been driving the BMW had managed to get out of the car himself. He was treated for minor knee and rib pain and had a bloodied nose. He was discharged at scene.”
