Man cut from car in Penkridge after car smashed into tree and overturned
A man had to be cut from his car when it crashed into a tree and overturned in Penkridge last night.
The accident, which involved a 24-year-old male driver and two 17-year-old female passengers, took place on Levedale Road at just after midnight.
Fire crews had to cut the roof from the car to free the driver who had a dislocated hip and was left dazed.
One teenage girl managed to get out of the car before paramedics arrived, but suffered a facial injury. The other was taken to hospital as a precaution.
West Midlands Ambulance spokesman Murray MacGregor said: "On arrival, crews found a car that had collided with a tree and overturned.
"The roof was removed so that the driver, a 24 year old man could be removed safely from the car after suffering from a dislocated hip. He also had a reduced level of consciousness.
"He was taken to University Hospital North Staffordshire with the doctor travelling with the crew.
"There were two 17 year old women in the car. One had managed to get out before ambulance staff arrived and had a facial injury.
"The other was immobilised as a precaution due to the level of damage to the car. Both travelled in the same ambulance to University Hospital North Staffordshire."
