Two West Midlands Police officers have been left injured after crashing their patrol car in Coventry. It happened on Kenilworth Road.

Officers were responding to a 999 call reporting a robbery at around 7.50pm on Friday (October 25). While making their way to the incident, they crashed into railings after colliding with another vehicle, believed to be a Porsche.
