IN PICTURES: Driver cut free and three taken to hospital after smash between van and cars
Three people have been taken to hospital, one of whom was cut free from his car, after a crash involving a van and two cars near Bridgnorth this morning.
The crash happened just before 7.15am this morning on the B4363 in Kinlet outside the Eagle & Serpent pub, which left some of the casualties trapped.
Two people were taken to the Royal Worcestershire Hospital and one to Royal Shrewsbury Hospital - but police say the injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
Three fire appliances from Bridgnorth, Cleobury Mortimer and Wellington were on scene to free the people using cutting equipment.
Steve Parry, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman, said: "WMAS was called to a three vehicle collision involving three patients near Kinlet Bank this morning.
"A male driver in his thirties was trapped in his vehicle for over forty minutes. He was released by firefighters and treated for a leg injury by ambulance crews. The patient was immobilised with the use of a neck collar and spinal board and given pain relief before he was taken to the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital by land ambulance.
"The driver of the second car involved, a woman believed to be in her sixties, was treated for back and neck injuries. Her car was found in a nearby field following the collision. She was also immobilised before being conveyed to Worcestershire Royal Hospital.
"A man in his twenties travelling in a light van was also treated for a leg injury. The patient was immobilised and given pain relief before being conveyed by land ambulance to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further assessment and treatment."
