Wednesday 7th October 2015 – 7.30am – Jamie Arrowsmith.
A car stopped just short of train tracks after crashing through a fence and travelling down a bank last night.
Thankfully, an oncoming train was able to stop short of the incident and the driver of the car, a woman, was uninjured.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the incident near to Wythall Railway Station on Lea Green Lane in Birmingham shortly before 10pm and sent a community paramedic in a rapid response vehicle and a paramedic area support officer to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “It is incredibly fortunate that the woman was uninjured and the oncoming train managed to stop short of the incident.
“The car stopped about a foot short of the track after leaving the road, breaking through a fence and travelling down an embankment.
“The woman, who was the sole occupant of the car, did not require attention from ambulance staff and was discharged at scene.”
