A MAN has died and five other people have been taken to hospital following a road traffic collision in Coventry last night.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 10.57pm to a collision involving a car and a tree on Brinklow Road, Binley, with six patients found in the car upon arrival.
The first, a man who was a passenger in the car, was assessed and had sustained life-threatening injuries, but despite receiving advanced life support he was confirmed dead at the scene.
The man driving the car and three other passengers, a man and two women, had also sustained life-threatening injuries.
Ambulance staff administered advanced trauma care to them at the scene before they were taken to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire under emergency blue light conditions for further treatment.
A sixth patient, a man who was also a passenger in the car, was also taken to hospital, although his injuries are not believed to be serious.
