SEVEN people were injured when two cars crashed outside the entrance to West Midland Safari Park.

Paramedics were called to the attraction on the A456 Kidderminster Road, in Bewdley, shortly before 7.55pm last night (Wednesday, August 3) where the incident had occurred.

Seven people were treated by paramedics, although none of their injuries were serious.

Two ambulances, a paramedic area support officer, a medical first responder and a community first responder rushed to the scene and they were helped by an off duty paramedic who stopped to offer assistance.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival at the scene, crews discovered seven patients, but thankfully none of them appeared to be seriously injured.

“All of the patients were breathing and conscious and ambulance staff quickly began assessing them for their injuries.

“One man was treated for arm and chest injuries and given pain relief at the scene whilst a woman had suffered minor leg injuries.

“They were both transported to Worcester Royal Hospital on the same ambulance.

“Two further patients suffered minor seat belt injuries and were taken to Kidderminster Minor Injuries Unit on the same ambulance.

“An elderly woman was treated for back pain but, together with the two remaining patients, was discharged at the scene.”
