A man and a woman have been seriously injured following a crash in Knowle this morning.

Ambulance crews were called to the incident near the canal bridge on Bakers Lane just before 1am this morning (July 8).

A car was found in a field having come off the road and gone down an embankment.

Fire crews were joined by two ambulances, a paramedic officer, a doctor and two critical care paramedics at the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "Crews arrived to find a car which had left the road and was in a field down an embankment.

"The two occupants, a man and a woman, were assessed and found with serious injuries.

"Both patients were assisted out of the vehicle with help from fire colleagues, under the guidance of ambulance staff.

"The man and the woman received trauma care from the team of medics on scene before both were conveyed by land ambulance on blue lights to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham for further emergency care.

"A third occupant had reportedly left the scene prior to the arrival of the emergency services."
