Two cars and a van were involved in the crash in Bromsgrove Road, Hunnington, near Halesowen, shortly before 4.20pm.

Firefighters removed the roof of the woman's car - which had spun nearly 360 degrees - so she could be freed. She was taken to hospital with knee and hip injuries and a suspected fractured collarbone.

A passenger from the second car, aged in her 60s, was also taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Severe damage to another of the vehicles

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: "On arrival, crews discovered a woman who was trapped in her car which had suffered front and rear end damage.

"The woman, believed to be in her 40s, was assessed and treated for a knee injury, a suspected hip injury and a suspected fractured collarbone.

"She was immobilised prior to being cut free from the vehicle and had a pelvic binder applied as well as being given pain relief."

The driver of the second car, a man in his 60s, and two men in the van, both in their 40s, were uninjured.

A Midlands Air Ambulance crew from Strensham also attended the crash.
