A young girl has died following a car crash near a playground in Birmingham.
Two women were taken to hospital for treatment following the incident on Upper Highgate Street at around 9.45pm on Sunday.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said it arrived at the scene within three minutes, with two ambulances, two paramedic officers, a trauma doctor and two critical care paramedics attending.
The child was treated by medics but was confirmed dead at the scene. The two other women were treated for serious but not life-threatening injuries.
A fourth patient, another child, was assessed by ambulance crews but was not injured and was therefore discharged at the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “On arrival, crews found a car and four pedestrians had been involved in a collision.
“A child, female, was in a critical condition and ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support.
“Sadly, despite everyone’s best efforts, she could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.
“Two women were treated by medics for serious, but not life-threatening, injuries and were conveyed on blue lights to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham for further treatment.
“A fourth patient, a child, was assessed by ambulance crews but was not injured and so was discharged at the scene.”
