A pedestrian has suffered 'potentially serious injuries' after being struck by a car on the A500. The collision closed a section of the northbound A500 - between the junction 16 M6 roundabout and the Talke turn-off - following a 'multi-vehicle collision'.

The A500 was closed from around lunchtime on Saturday 23 November.

StokeonTrentLive is still waiting for a statement from Staffordshire Police following the weekend collision. But West Midlands Ambulance Service has revealed it sent two ambulances to the crash scene.

An ambulance service spokesman said: "We were called to reports of a collision involving a pedestrian and a car on the A500. The pedestrian, a man, was assessed and found with potentially serious injuries. He received treatment at the scene before being conveyed to the Royal Stoke University Hospital for further care. Two occupants from the car were also assessed but uninjured."

Any witnesses can call the police on 101.
