Five firefighters suffered minor injuries when their fire engine crashed though a wall on Stourbridge ring road as they were responding to a road traffic collision.

Group Commander Neil Griffiths said: “The five firefighters were taken to hospital for precautionary checks. There were some minor injuries but all later left the hospital and returned to their station, before going off duty and returning home. We will be giving the crew and their families all the support we can.”

The fire service say the vehicle was extensively damaged but that a replacement engine was in place.

The ring road was temporarily closed at the junction while we arranged recovery of the fire engine.
