A FAST response car for Redditch ambulance crews has been left off the road after it was involved in an accident on Friday.

The news comes just six months after the fully equipped Ford Focus was launched in Redditch in an attempt to cut the answering time for life-threatening emergencies.

No one was hurt in the accident, which happened on Foxlydiate Crescent, in Batchley.

Mr Knight said he did not know how long the fast response car would be out of action.
