The man, believed to be in his 90s, was driving on Wolverhampton Road East, at the junction with Greenly Road in Wolverhampton, when he was involved in a collision with another car at around 5.30am.
Firefighters had to cut the doors off the red Citroën estate he had been driving to free him from the vehicle, before he was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
The driver of the other car, a silver Vauxhall Astra, was taken to Wolverhampton's New Cross Hospital.
West Midlands Police spokeswoman Gina Lycett said: "A man, believed to be in his 90s, was taken from one of the vehicles and taken to hospital, where his injuries are described as serious."
