City girl, 14, dies in crash

A TEENAGE girl was killed after being hit by a car on a Birmingham road.

Paramedics were called to the scene of the incident in Alcester Road South, Kings Heath, after horrified onlookers near a Texaco filling station raised the alarm shortly before 9pm on Saturday.

Two ambulances, a critical care practitioner and two doctors from the West Midlands Care Team Emergency Doctor Scheme were sent to the aid of the 14-year-old girl from Yardley Wood, who has not been named.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “The teenager had suffered a serious head injury as well as a broken right leg, chest injuries and breathing difficulties.

“On arrival, crews immediately started treating her and assisting her breathing.”

He said the girl was taken by land ambulance with a police escort to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where she later died.

The driver of the car was not hurt.
