A man has died following a crash, despite the best efforts of bystanders.
An elderly man died and a motorcyclist was taken to hospital following a collision on Pershore Road, Evesham, yesterday.
Passers-by at the scene attempted to save the man's life but their attempts were unsuccessful.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “Crews arrived to find a pedestrian, a man, in a critical condition being given CPR by bystanders and an off-duty paramedic.
“Ambulance crews worked as a team to deliver advanced life support but sadly, despite the best efforts of everyone there, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead on scene a short time later.”
The crash occurred at the junction of the B4084 Pershore Road and Haselor Lane, Charlton, shortly before 1:30pm on Sunday.
WMAS sent two ambulances and a paramedic officer to the scene, while the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance with a doctor and paramedic on board also attended.
The WMAS spokesperson added: “The motorcyclist, a man, was assessed and found with no significant injuries.
“He was given treatment on scene before being conveyed by land ambulance to Worcestershire Royal Hospital for further care.”
West Mercia Police are now appealing for anyone with information about the crash to get in touch.
A tweet from the force read: “Did you see a collision in Pershore Road, Evesham at about 1:30pm yesterday?
“A man died and a motorcyclist was injured so we are appealing for witnesses.
“If you have info call us. quoting incident 337 of 26 June. Thank you.”
