A man was seriously injured when he was hit by a car during rush hour in Telford.
Emergency services were called to reports of a collision involving a car and a pedestrian at the junction of Court Street and Parkway in Madeley, at 5.15pm yesterday.
Two ambulances, a paramedic area support officer and the air crew and MERIT trauma doctor from the Midlands Air Ambulance base in Cosford attended the scene by response car.
