A MOTORCYCLIST had to be rushed to hospital with a significant chest injury after a car crash in Bromsgrove.

A man, believed to be in his 30s, was taken to one of the region’s major trauma centres after a collision near to the Kidderminster Road and Perryfields Road junction about 5.10pm.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said an air ambulance and one regular ambulance was sent from Strensham to the scene.

On arrival crews found a man who had come off his bike after colliding with a car, suffering significant damage.




He was then given assistance with his breathing before he was taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, in Birmingham, by a land ambulance for further treatment.

“Thankfully, his injuries are not thought to be life threatening,” the spokesman added.


“Due to the location of the incident it was deemed quicker to travel by road than air.

“The driver of the car, a man, was assessed and discharged at scene.”
