An elderly woman has been rushed to a major trauma centre after a crash between a car and a lorry in Dudley.
The crash happened just before 2.20pm on Wednesday on Stourbridge Road, close to the junction with Waverley Street.
The woman, who had been in the car, needed to be extricated from the vehicle by ambulance staff and firefighters due to its "extensive" damage as a result of the crash.
A single ambulance was sent to the scene and the woman was consequently taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham. There were no other casualties.
A spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "An elderly woman has been taken to a major trauma centre as a precaution after the car she was in was involved in a collision with a lorry.
