Three taken to hospital after two-car crash at notorious junction in Stourbridge
A car careered off the road and ended up in the front garden of a house in a crash at a notorious junction in Stourbridge.
The smash happened at the junction of Whittington Road and Heath Farm Road, Norton, at about midnight last night.
Two fire crews from Brierley Hill and Stourbridge attended the scene, cutting free a male driver from one of the two cars involved.
He was then taken to hospital, with a woman and man in the other car also taken to hospital as a precaution.
A resident, who did not wish to be named, said: "We heard a car driving at what sounded like a high speed down Whittington Road and then an almighty smash.
"Then a woman was in the street screaming and all the residents came out and emergency services arrived.
"One of the cars was on its side in a front garden and the other in the middle of the street.
"A young man and a woman from the other car were sitting on the side of the road in shock."
The junction was the scene of a previous accident in April 2018, with a Mini Countryman being driven by a woman believed to be aged in her 60s ending up on its roof in a crash there.
She suffered chest pains and was assessed at the scene but did not require any further treatment.
The van driver, a man thought to be in his 40s, was not hurt.
The resident said: "A lot of residents want some sort of traffic measure to slow speeding cars on Whittington Road."
