Two women have been taken to hospital after a car crash in Tipton.

The vehicle they were travelling in left the road and hit a tree on Oxford Way at around 1 o’clock yesterday morning (Sunday).

The women, who are both thought to be in their late 20s, were taken to Russells Hall for treatment.

It’s not thought either was badly hurt, but an ambulance spokesman said they were both lucky not to have sustained more serious injuries given the damage to the car.
