West Midlands Police and West Midlands Ambulance Service attended the scene at the junction of Oaklands Road and Penn Road.
One ambulance, a paramedic officer and a MERIT trauma doctor and critical care paramedic helped give care to the injured pedestrian.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon arrival, we found a woman who was the pedestrian who was assessed by ambulance staff and had sustained potentially life-threatening injuries.
“Ambulance staff administered advanced trauma care to her at the scene and she was conveyed to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for further treatment.
“No further patients required treatment.”
