Man dies after car overturns in crash
A man has died following a crash near to the Warwickshire[1] border with Solihull[2] on Monday (June 5). Emergency services were called following reports a car had overturned in Old Warwick[3] Road, Lapworth, at about 4.20pm.
West Midlands Ambulance Service dispatched an ambulance, a paramedic officer, a MERIT trauma doctor and a BASICS doctor to the scene. A spokesman said: "On arrival crews discovered a car that had overturned and one male passenger.
"The man was found to be in a critical condition and ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support. However, despite their best efforts it sadly became apparent nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene."
The road was closed in both directions between the junction for Glasshouse Lane / Wolf Lane and the village of Hockley Heath while emergency services attended to the tragic incident. It was the second such incident in Warwickshire in little more than 12 hours.
A man in his 30s was rushed to University Hospital Coventry[5] after the car he was travelling in overturned and ploughed into a bush in Shuckburgh Road, Napton,[6] near Southam, shortly after 12.40am. A female passenger was not seriously injured and had exited the car by the time emergency services arrived. She was assessed and discharged at the scene.
