“That was a man believed to be in his 20s who had suffered a number of serious injuries.
“Ambulance staff assessed him and treated him for head, leg and arm injuries. He was immobilised and given pain relief before being taken to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.
“The doctor travelled with the patient on the back of the ambulance to continue treatment on route.
“The second patient, also a man in his 20s, was in the passenger seat.
“He was treated for a serious head injury together with back and rib injuries.
