Boy, 11, seriously injured by car in Cradley Heath
An 11-year-old boy has been taken to hospital with serious injuries after he was hit by a car in Cradley Heath.
The boy was injured as he crossed The Parade at about 8.20pm last night.
Paramedics treated him for hip, stomach and leg injuries before he was taken to Birmingham Children's Hospital on alert. He also suffered lesser facial injuries.
West Midlands Ambulance spokesman Jamie Arrowsmith said: "It quickly became apparent that the boy was seriously hurt and crews began treating him for pelvic, abdominal and leg injuries.
"He was given pain relief, had both legs put into a splint and was immobilised before being taken to Birmingham Children's Hospital on alert.
"Although the boy's injuries were considered serious, they are not thought to be life threatening."
