Clehonger RTC update - man's condition not life-threatening

THE man who was airlifted to hospital earlier today following a crash in Clehonger is not in a life-threatening conditon, police have said.

A car and a minibus were in collision in Gosmore Road at around 10.20am.

The driver of the minibus, who is believed to be in his 60s, was treated at the scene for head and leg injuries before being flown to Bristol Frenchay Hospital for further treatment.

However, police spokesman Chris Ammonds said that his injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.

Five other people - three female passengers in the minibus and a man and a woman in the car, who are believed to be in their 70s - were treated for minor injuries before they were all taken to Hereford County Hospital.

The road was closed as a result of the accident, but has since re-opened.
