Two others – a man in his 40s with a fractured arm and a woman in her 40s with minor injuries – were taken via ambulance to Redditch’s Alexandra Hospital.
Two ‘walking wounded’ were taken in another ambulance to the Alex.
A third ambulance took two others to the Alex – one, suffering chest pain, was immobilised with a neck collar and spinal board and another, with rib and knee pain.
