Fatal RTC in Hampton-in-Arden

A 20-year-old man has sadly died and a woman was taken to hospital after a collision during this morning’s rush hour in Hampton-in-Arden (13th January).

Emergency services were called at 8.45am to a road traffic collision involving two cars on Eastcote Lane.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Ambulance staff arrived to find one car which had left the road.

“Sadly nothing could be done to save the driver, a man, and he was confirmed dead on scene.

“The driver of the second car, a woman in her 50s, sustained a chest injury. Ambulance staff administered pain relief to help ease her discomfort before she was taken to Heartlands Hospital for further checks.”
