A PREGNANT woman was tended to by paramedics after a car she was traveling in collided with a van outside the city’s magistrates court.

An ambulance was called to the scene in Castle Street at 9.40am but the woman declined to be taken to hospital, while the two vehicles were towed away.

An eyewitness described hearing a “massive bang” as the van and Vauxhall Corsa crashed at the junction with Farrier Street.

The witness said he rushed outside, and the car was “still shaking” from the impact.

It is understood that there was a male passenger alongside the male driver in the car and the pregnant female was in the back.

Security staff from the magistrates court had rushed out to the scene of the crash.

Another witness said it looked like the Corsa was a write-off due to the damage down one side.

The crash caused some traffic delays and a Worcestershire Highways vehicle was at the scene along with the ambulance and police.

A spokesman for the West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “We were called to reports of a two-car RTC [road traffic collision].

“One ambulance attended, we assessed one patient, a woman, who did not wish to go to hospital.”

After the two vehicles were removed, a police officer removed debris from the road.
