A MAN was pronounced dead at the scene of a crash in Bromsgrove last night.

Police received reports of a collision involving a car and a pedestrian shortly after 8pm.

Officers were joined by three ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance crew from Strensham, with a BASICS doctor on board, at the scene on the A448 Stratford Road.

West Mercia Police tweeted at 8.31pm: "The A448 Stratford Road near the rounabout with the A38 is closed while police deal with a road traffic collision in which a man has been seriously injured.

"The road is likely to remain closed for some time, please avoid the area if you can."

West Midlands Ambulance Service has since confirmed that the man died as a result of his injuries.

A spokesman said: "Crews arrived to find a pedestrian, a man, who was in cardiac arrest following a collision with a car.

"Ambulance staff worked quickly as a team to deliver advanced life support.

"Sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead on scene.

“The car driver, a woman, was uninjured and didn’t require hospital treatment.”
