Total of six injured in two separate A141 road traffic accidents

Volunteer medical team the Magpas Helimedix in East Anglia, which operates a 24-hour service, had to cut a man from his car when he suffered personal injuries after losing control of his vehicle in a road traffic accident.

This followed an incident, just days before, which took place on the same road when two cars collided with one another in a vehicle crash which injured four people including an eight-year-old boy.

The driver who had to be cut from his car, lost control on the A141 in Cambridgeshire around midday and the car left the road, landing on its side in a six foot deep ditch.

A woman in the car with him, having only suffered minor personal injury, managed to escape from the vehicle to safety before the emergency services arrived and the man was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge for treatment.

The man received serious injuries, but none of them were life-threatening.

Reports suggest that the road traffic accident was not caused by another vehicle. If another road user had been found liable, both the injured man and his passenger, may have been able to make a car accident claim for their pain, suffering and any resulting loss of earnings. Likewise, if it becomes clear that the driver's negligence caused the accident, the woman could choose to claim.
