Yahoo News Child among three hurt in rush-hour Fenton smash
A child was among three patients hurt in a rush-hour smash on a busy Stoke-on-Trent junction. Police and two ambulances were sent to the City Road and Victoria Road roundabout this morning following reports of a two-car crash.
Now West Midlands Ambulance Service have confirmed a man, woman and child had suffered injuries - which paramedics say were not considered serious. Motorists in the area say there were long queues on the notoriously busy City Road and Victoria Road as the emergency services dealt with the incident.
One commuter spotted a fire engine at the scene of the collision, which involved a Mercedes A-Class and a Volkswagen Tiguan. The alarm had been raised at around 8.30am.
A spokeswoman for the ambulance service said: "We were called to a road traffic collision involving two cars on Victoria Place in Fenton.
"Two ambulances attended the scene. Upon arrival we found three patients who were a man and a woman who were the drivers of the two cars and a child who was a passenger in the first car.
"All three were assessed and had sustained injuries not believed to be serious. The man and child received treatment at the scene. All three patients received self care advice from ambulance staff before being discharged at the scene."
Staffordshire Police say officers were at the scene and recovery was arranged for the vehicles.
