“The boy had suffered serious leg and suspected pelvic injuries. He received emergency treatment at the scene including the application of leg and pelvic splints. The boy also suffered a minor head injury. His condition was stabilised and he was airlifted to Birmingham Childrens Hospital for further emergency treatment.”
