Biker airlifted to hospital after Bilston crash
A motorcyclist has been airlifted to hospital after a crash with a car this afternoon.
The male rider, aged in his 20s, suffered a serious leg injury in the smash in Bilston.
Emergency services were called to the junction of Bull Lane and Charnwood Close just before 2pm.
One ambulance, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford, with a doctor on board, attended the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Crews arrived to find the motorcyclist, a man believed to be in his 20s, lying on the pavement.
“It quickly became apparent he had suffered a serious leg injury in the incident.
"He received specialist trauma care at the scene, was given pain relief and immobilised before being airlifted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham."
It was a busy day for the air ambulance crews, with a man also airlifted to hospital following a crash in Burntwood.
