An 11-year-old has been airlifted to hospital after a collision with a car in Wombourne.
Medics treated the boy at the scene on Orton Road shortly after 5pm before he was flown to Birmingham Children's Hospital for further assessment.
West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman Murray MacGregor said: "When ambulance service staff arrived, they were told that the boy had been unconscious for a few minutes.
"The 11-year-old was found in the middle of the road in front of a small car which had a cracked windscreen.
"The boy was immobilised using a neck collar and spinal board and treated for head and abdominal injuries at the scene before being taken to Wombourne cricket pitch where the air ambulance had landed. He was then airlifted to Birmingham Children's Hospital for further assessment and treatment.
"The woman driving the car was uninjured but very shaken by what had happened."
The first paramedic arrived on scene four minutes after the 999 call was made.
