An ambulance and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham attended the scene where they were told that the man in his 50s, had been doing some mechanical work underneath the  car when it fell onto him.

Three family members lifted up the car to release him before ambulance staff arrived.




The man had a chest injury and was given pain relief to help ease his discomfort before being immobilised and taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham by land ambulance.
