“A man who was the driver of the car had sustained potentially serious injuries. He received treatment at the scene and was conveyed to Hereford County Hospital under emergency blue light conditions for further assessment.
“A man and a woman who were passengers in the car were conveyed to hospital but upon arrival, declined further treatment and were given self care advice before being discharged at the scene.”
