A DRIVER has been seriously injured after his car left the carriageway and collided with a tree in Coventry last night (Sunday February 23).
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called by the police just after 9pm following reports of a single car collision on the A46, between junctions 4 and 5 in Stoneleigh.
Two ambulances, a critical care car from The Air Ambulance Service and a paramedic officer responded to the incident.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived to find an overturned car down an embankment.
“The driver, a man, was rapidly assessed and extricated from the vehicle and up the steep embankment with help from fire service colleagues.
“The man had sustained serious injuries and received trauma care at the scene before being conveyed by ambulance on blue lights and sirens to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further emergency care.”
