Two ambulances, a rapid response vehicle and a paramedic officer were sent to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Thankfully the level of injuries were all relatively minor.
“One man in his 30s was cut free from his vehicle by firefighters. He was immobilised using a neck collar and spinal board as a precaution and taken to Heartlands Hospital complaining of right sided pain.
“There were three men in the second car – two estimated to be in their 30s and one in his teens. All three were complaining of whiplash and were taken to the same hospital for further assessment.”
