One man received arm and chest injuries in the two car smash in Bewdley yesterday evening.

Emergency services were called to the A456 Kidderminster to Bewdley road at around 7.55pm.

West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman Jamie Arrowsmith said: "On arrival at the scene, crews discovered seven patients, but thankfully none of them appeared to be seriously injured."

All of the patients were breathing and conscious and ambulance staff worked to assess the people for their injuries.

The man treated for arm and chest injuries was given pain relief at the scene while a woman suffered minor leg injuries.

They were both taken to Worcestershire Royal Hospital in the same ambulance.

Two further patients suffered minor seat belt injuries and were taken to Kidderminster Minor Injuries Unit.

An elderly woman was treated for back pain but, together with the two remaining patients, did not have to go to hospital.

Two ambulances were sent to the scene of the crash alongside a paramedic area support officer, a medical first responder and a community first responder.

An off duty paramedic also stopped to offer assistance.
