A West Midlands Fire Service spokesman added: “One female and one girl were in the other vehicle.

“It looks like the female was assisted from the vehicle by ambulance staff and was checked over by paramedics .

“The girl had leg injuries and received first aid from fire service personnel. They were relayed to hospital by ambulance.”

Rather 'naughty' of them.

I don't post anything to social media that I'm worried about being stolen. - And that's what it is, unless they have paid for it, or gotten permission from the photographer: and I don't see any picture acknowledgement. - Assuming you are correct, of course. ;)
