“Ambulance staff were told that both men were briefly unconscious. However, one of the occupants was able to get out of the vehicle himself. He was immobilised with neck pain and a head injury.
“The other occupant was freed after firefighters removed the roof. He was also treated for back injuries and was immobilised.
“Both men, who were estimated to be in their 20s, were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham for assessment.”
