FOUR people have been injured in a two-car crash near Evesham.

The collision in Blakes Hill, North Littleton, caused one car to spin around and end up in a hedge, trapping the female driver.

But a Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service crew freed the woman using cutting equipment before she was taken to Alexandra Hospital in Redditch complaining of minor back, hip and chest pains.

A 16-year-old boy in the rear seat of the other car lost several of his front teeth in the crash and was airlifted to hospital for his “serious” facial injuries.

The driver – a man aged about 20 – had his fractured, dislocated wrist put back in place by a paramedic while the front seat passenger suffered minor knee pain.

Two ambulances, a rapid response vehicle, a paramedic area support officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance were sent to the head-on crash, which took place just after 6pm on Monday (July 27).

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Both cars had suffered fairly substantial damage to the front end.

“One car was facing the opposite direction to the way it was travelling and was in a hedge.

“The woman driving was trapped for a period but ambulance staff worked with firefighters to get her out safely. She was complaining of minor back, hip and chest pain and was taken to the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch by ambulance.

“There were three people in the other vehicle.

“A 16-year-old boy who had been in the rear seat had managed to get out of the car but was complaining of right hip pain and had lost many of his front teeth.

“He was airlifted to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for the treatment for his serious facial injuries.

“The driver, a man of about 20, had also got out himself. He had suffered a fractured dislocation of his wrist that required strong pain relief. The paramedic from the air ambulance put the wrist back in place before he was taken by land ambulance to Worcester.

“The front seat passenger of the car was complaining of right knee but after treatment was discharged on scene.”
