Two boys were hurt as they tried to jump over a wall as a van hit it in Kidderminster.

The boys, both 11, were hurt as a Ford Transit crashed in Woodbury Roadt.

Paramedics were called and alerted police. Two men were later arrested on suspicion of driving offences.

West Midlands Ambulance spokesman Murray MacGregor said: “When crews arrived they found a transit van which had collided with a wall. There were two young boys who had been injured.

“Crews were told that the pair who were aged 11 and lived locally had tried to jump over the wall. One had head and ankle injuries and the other had head, ankle and leg injuries.”

They went to hospital for further assessment and treatment. Police confirmed being called at 7.10 last night. The two men arrested were released on bail pending further enquiries.
