A 60-year-old man died and two people were seriously injured following a two-car collision near Bidford on Sunday (4th August).

West Midlands Ambulance Service said they were called to the incident on Evesham Road/Stratford Road at 6.27am.

The collision involved a white Audi A4, which was heading towards Bidford, and a blue Ford Fiesta heading in the opposite direction.

“Three ambulances, a critical care paramedic, a paramedic officer and a critical care car from the Air Ambulance Service attended,” said a spokesperson.

“Fire colleagues had rapidly extricated the driver of one car, a man, who was in a critical condition and were performing CPR.

“Ambulance staff continued advanced life support on scene but sadly, despite the best efforts of everyone, nothing could be done to save the man [who was driving the Fiesta] and he was confirmed dead a short time later.”

The spokesperson added: “The driver of the second car, a man [aged 28], suffered serious injuries and received trauma care at the roadside before being conveyed on blue lights to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

“The passenger from the same car, a woman [aged 18], also sustained serious injuries and the team administered trauma care to stabilise her condition before she was also conveyed to the same hospital.”
