A MAN was trapped in his car after it crashed on the A49 in Ludlow.
Multiple resources were sent to the scene, including West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) and Midlands Air Ambulance, at around 2.40pm yesterday (Sunday) after a small vehicle had come to rest on its side.
Two fire appliances, including the Rescue Tender, were also sent from Craven Arms, Ludlow and Wellington.
Posting on its Facebook page, Ludlow Fire Station said: "On our arrival, we quickly established that the driver had self extricated with help by passers by, so we were able to scale down the resource required.
"Second in attendance was Ludlow Community First Responders' (LCFR) Stuart.
"Stuart received an overview from our officer in change of the incident and then a full patient handover from one of our FREC 3 trained firefighters.
"Stuart then carried out a full assessment and took over the care of the male driver until the arrival of his colleagues from WMAS. Great work, Stuart.
"The police also attended to assist with traffic management and carry out their investigation duties. Thankfully, no injuries were sustained.
"The Ludlow Community First Responders are an asset to our community. It was a pleasure to work alongside Stuart, and great to see them utilised to support us at this RTC incident.
"You can show your support to LCFR Scheme by joining us at our Chairty Car Wash this coming Saturday at Ludlow Farm Shop where we will be raising funds to support the scheme. We are excited for the future now that we’ve forged a relationship with the LCFR."
A spokesperson for WMAS added: “We were called at 2.42pm on Sunday to a road traffic collision involving one car on the A49 Sheet Island in Ludlow.
"One ambulance, a paramedic officer and a Community First Responder (CFR) attended the scene. Upon arrival we found a man who was the driver of the car
"He was assessed by ambulance staff and was uninjured. He received self care advice before being discharged at the scene.”
