The crews of the Midlands Air Ambulances from Staffordshire and Cosford also attended the scene in rapid response vehicles.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Crews arrived to find a woman, believed to be in her 60s, with a reduced level of consciousness following a collision with a car.
“Ambulance staff quickly began giving treatment for a serious head injury as well as chest and ankle injuries.
“In order to stabilise her condition she was anaesthetised at the scene before being transported to Royal Stoke University Hospital. The doctor travelled on the back of the ambulance to continue treatment en-route.
“The driver of the car was treated for the effects of shock at the scene but did not suffer any injuries.”
