“The second car was carrying four occupants at the time of the incident. One of the rear seat passengers, a man in his early 20s, was treated for leg and pelvic injuries. He was immobilised and extricated from the vehicle before being airlifted to University Hospital of Coventry and Warwickshire for further assessment and treatment.”
