A man has died and two ambulance workers have been injured after a horror crash in Wolverhampton.
West Midlands Ambulance Service received several 999 calls reporting a car had been involved in a crash with a non-emergency Patient Transport Service (PTS) ambulance shortly after 10pm last night.
A man, believed to be the driver of the car, suffered cardiac arrest and sadly died at the scene.
Two PTS staff members, a man and a woman, were injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
The ambulance service says it will be helping police with their investigation into the tragic incident.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “The first ambulance was on scene within two minutes of the 999 call and arrived to find a man, believed to be the driver of the car, in cardiac arrest.
"The team worked quickly to administer advanced life support to the man but sadly, despite the best efforts of ambulance crews, nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead on scene a short time later.
“Meanwhile the remaining team of ambulance staff focused on assessing and treating their two PTS colleagues who had been injured in the collision.
"The two PTS staff, a man and a woman, were conveyed to Walsall Manor Hospital for further treatment.
“The service will be assisting West Midlands Police with its investigation into the collision.”
The PTS ambulance was on the way to collect a patient for non-emergency transport at the time of the incident.
