A MAN has been rushed to hospital with multiple serious injuries after being knocked over by a car on a busy Stourbridge road this morning (Wednesday, January 18).

A West Midlands Police officer at the scene said the man was taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital after he was "run over" on Hagley Road, near the junction with Cranbourne Road.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said the 51-year-old pedestrian suffered from multiple serious injuries during the incident, which took place at about 6.20am.

An ambulance was fist on scene and was backed up by a paramedic area support officer and the MERIT Trauma Doctor.

The spokesman said: “On arrival, crews found an off duty nurse providing care to the 51-year-old man.

“The man had suffered a number of fractures and dislocations. He also had head injuries and it was thought that he had been knocked unconscious briefly.

“He was given pain relief, was immobilised and had his right leg splinted before being taken on blue lights to the major trauma centre at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.

“The car had damage to the bonnet and windscreen. The car driver was uninjured.”

The man’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

A West Midlands Police spokesman said they were called just before 6.30am and officers spoke to the driver at the scene.

The incident caused gridlock around Stourbridge ring road this morning, with police closing off Hagley Road at its junctions with Union Street and Cranbourne Road shortly after the incident – but the road has since been reopened.

Anyone with information which could help the police’s investigation should call 101.
