A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived at the scene to find two cars that had been in collision.
“Two occupants had been travelling in each vehicle at the time of the incident. Due to the nature of the patients’ injuries, ambulance crews worked with the fire service to remove both of the car’s roofs in order to safely extricate all four patients.
“The driver of the first car, a man, was treated for chest injuries whilst the passenger, a woman, was treated for back injuries.
“Two men from the second car were both treated for back injuries and minor head injuries.
“All four patients were conveyed to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire for further assessment and treatment.”
