A MAN has died after a two-car crash near Kidderminster last night.
The collision, which involved a grey Audi A1 and a silver Volkswagen Golf, happened around 9pm last night (Tuesday) on the A456 Birmingham Road in Blakedown.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 9.10pm and sent three ambulances, two paramedic officers, a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic, a Mercia Accident Rescue Service responder (MARS) and the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car from Cosford to the scene.
When they arrived, crews found the driver of the Audi, a man in his 60s, in a critical condition. He was receiving CPR from firefighters before paramedics and other ambulance stuff took over advanced life support. Despite the best efforts of the crews, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Golf, a man in his 70s, was treated by medics for serious injuries and was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham with MERIT travelling on board to continue treatment en route.
A third patient, a woman, was treated for potentially serious injuries and conveyed to Russells Hall Hospital.
A second woman was assessed and taken to the same hospital for further checks.
West Mercia Police are investigating and officers would like to speak to anybody who may have seen the collision or from anybody who has dash cam footage from around the time it happened.
