A two-car crash has claimed the life of a driver and left a passenger in Stoke-on-Trent’s main hospital. Police, firefighters, paramedics were called to the crash on Rawnsley Road, in Staffordshire, on Sunday night.
An air ambulance landed as part of the emergency services response.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “On arrival, crews found two cars which had been involved in a serious collision. The driver of one car, a man, was in a critical condition. The team worked together to administer trauma care to the man but sadly nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed deceased at the scene. A passenger from the same car, a woman, received trauma care at the scene for potentially serious injuries before being conveyed by land ambulance to the Royal Stoke University Hospital for further care. The driver and passenger from the second car were described as walking wounded. Both were discharged at the scene.”
The collision involved a green Vauxhall Mokka and a black Mercedes.
Staffordshire Police are appealing for witnesses. They should call the police on 101, quoting incident number 594 of July 21.
