TWO MALE drivers were taken to hospital after being trapped in their cars following a nasty crash in Malvern.
The crash, which took place in Guarlford Road in Malvern shortly before 5.15pm on Tuesday, left the two drivers stuck as a result of their injuries and the damage sustained to their vehicles.
One of the drivers, thought to be in his 20s, suffered significant injuries to his lower leg and pelvis and was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
The other driver was treated for a leg injury and was taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
Two ambulances, paramedics and the Midlands Air Ambulance crew from Strensham, in a rapid response vehicle, attended the scene. Firefighters from Malvern also attended to free the drivers from the cars.
Guarlford Road was closed from during the evening before reopening about 10.30pm.
West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman Jamie Arrowsmith said: “On arrival, crews discovered two cars, both of which had suffered front end damage and both with their drivers trapped inside.
“Ambulance staff assessed both patients before working alongside the fire service to carefully cut them out of their cars.
“The first man, thought to be in his 20s, was suffering from a reduced level of consciousness and was also treated for a significant lower leg injury, arm injury and a suspected pelvic injury.
“He was immobilised with the use of a neck collar and scoop stretcher, given pain relief and taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham. The Air Ambulance doctor travelled on the back of the ambulance to continue treatment en-route.
“The man from the second car was treated for a leg injury, also immobilised and given pain relief before being taken to Worcester Royal Hospital.”
