A MAN died in a crash near Evesham. 

The crash happened at the junction of Pitchers Hill and the A44 in Broadway on Thursday night, (August 10). 

Emergency services were called at 8.29pm and the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance and Wiltshire Air Ambulance attended. 

A West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) spokesperson said: “On arrival, we found three cars had been involved in a collision.

“The driver of the first car, a man, had been removed from the vehicle with the help of fire colleagues and was receiving basic life support.

“Ambulance crews immediately took over and began administering advanced life support but sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.

 

“The passenger from the same car, also a man, was treated by medics for serious injuries after being removed from the vehicle by fire colleagues. He was then conveyed to Worcestershire Royal Hospital via land for further treatment.

“The driver of the second car, a man, had self-extricated when ambulance crews arrived.

“He was treated for potentially serious injuries at the scene before being taken by land ambulance to the same hospital for further treatment.
