Two motorcyclists were taken to hospital yesterday – one with serious injuries – after a collision on the A51 in Cotes Heath.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the A51 just after the turning for the A519 in Cotes Heath, near Swynnerton, at 11.30am on Sunday morning (13th March). Two ambulances, two BASICS emergency doctors and a paramedic area support officer attended the scene.

The man had sustained multiple injuries and, once his condition had been stabilised on scene he was immobilised and immediately alerted to Royal Stoke University Hospital, a major trauma centre, for further treatment.
“The second biker, a man in his 50s, had suffered less serious injuries but required treatment on scene before being taken to the same hospital.”[/box]
A number of people who had started to care for the two men at the scene have been praised by the ambulance service.
The spokeswoman said: “When ambulance staff arrived they found the two motorcyclists being cared for by a team of bystanders who had stopped to help following the collision. It is always a welcome sight to ambulance staff when patients are being cared for as they arrive on scene. Thank you to the many bystanders who were providing excellent care and assistance to both men.”
