A man has been airlifted to hospital following a collision in Herefordshire today.

Two cars were in collision close to the Whitestone Business Park off the A4103 Hereford to Worcester road just after 8.35am.

"The patient was released, with the assistance of the fire service, and treated for potential internal injuries and neck pain.

“The casualty, a man believed to be in his 60’s, was given pain relief at the scene and fully immobilised before being conveyed to the major trauma centre at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham for further assessment and treatment.

“A second patient was assessed at the scene but did not require further hospital treatment.”
