THREE teenagers were taken to hospital after a car crash in Netherton last night (Tuesday).

Emergency services were called to Saltwells Road at around 11.45pm to reports that the vehicle had smashed into a parked car and hit a garden fence and telephone exchange box.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Crews were told that a teenage girl, who was out of the car on their arrival, had initially suffered a reduced level of consciousness.

“She was treated for serious chest, pelvic, arm and abdominal injuries, immobilised and taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.

“A second teenage girl had suffered a suspected wrist fracture and a shoulder injury and was taken to the same hospital.

“A teenage boy, who was walking around on arrival of ambulance staff, was treated for shoulder and knee injuries and taken to Russells Hall Hospital.”

The road was closed at its junctions with Crabourne Road and Quarry Road while firefighters from Brierley Hill and Haden Cross made the scene safe.
