A man has died after a crash involving a car and road sweeper in Worcestershire last night.
West Midlands Ambulance was called at 5:50pm to the accident on Broadway Road in the Hinton Cross area of Evesham on Thursday August 26.
Two ambulances, a paramedic officer, the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance attended.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived at the scene of the collision to find the driver of the car, a man, in a critical condition with bystander CPR already being carried out by an off-duty paramedic who came across the incident, with assistance from police.
“Staff took over in the patient’s treatment and administered advanced trauma care at the scene. However sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed deceased on scene.”
The A46 was closed in both directions as a result but was reopened at around 1:30am this morning, Friday August 27.
