Passers-by drag pedestrian from underneath van after crash
A pedestrian was dragged from underneath a van by passers-by after suffering serious leg injuries when he was hit by it.
The man, thought to be in his 70s, was treated at the scene of the crash at the junction of Oaklands Road and Lea Road in Wolverhampton just before 4.40pm yesterday afternoon.
Jamie Arrowsmith, a West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman, said: "On arrival, crews discovered a man who had been dragged from underneath the van following a collision between the two.
"He was treated for a serious leg injury but thankfully appeared to have escaped any other injuries and remained breathing and conscious throughout.
"He had suffered significant cuts to his legs and once these were treated and dressed, he was immobilised and transported to New Cross Hospital."
