A man has been treated for serious injuries and taken to hospital after his motorbike collided with a motorway barrier on the M50 this afternoon.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the westbound carriageway of the M50, between junctions 3 and 4, at 2.38pm and sent an ambulance, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance Crew from Strensham in a rapid response car to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival we discovered one patient, a man, who was the motorcyclist.

“He was treated for multiple serious injuries by ambulance staff at the scene before being taken on blue lights and sirens to Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.

“The doctor from the air ambulance crew travelled on the back of the ambulance to help continue treating the patient on route to hospital.”
