TWO people were taken to hospital after the car they were travelling in crashed into a hedgerow near the Park Gate pub on the road between Kidderminster and Stourbridge on Monday.

The driver, a 21-year-old man from Stourport, had to be cut free from the Rover by firefighters. He was said to be in a stable condition at Russells Hall Hospital, Dudley.

His passenger, a 20-year-old Kidderminster woman, was treated for minor injuries at the same hospital and discharged.
