THREE people are being treated in hospital for serious injuries following a road collision along the Sixteen Foot at Stonea this morning.

Two cars – a blue Volvo GLT 440 and a blue Nissan Almera – collided head on close to the railway crossing at about 7.25am.

The three people injured were:

• A man in his 30s, who sustained pelvic and ankle injuries, • A man in his 40s, who sustained chest and abdominal injuries, and • A man in his 30s, who was trapped on arrival of the emergency services and sustained head injuries and a fractured femur.

All three men were taken to Peterborough District Hospital by land ambulance, where their condition was described by a Magpas spokesman as “serious but stable”.

The Sixteen Foot is currently closed, as police investigate the collision. The wreckages have been cleared from the scene.

Magpas doctors Ben Teasdale and Neil Flowers attended the scene. Also at the scene was Dr Simon Standen, a paramedic for Magpas and the NHS Ambulance Trust.

Dr Teasdale, who is also the chairman of Magpas, said: “These patients are all very lucky to be alive. I have attended numerous incidents similar to this when the outcome has been very different.

“All the emergency services worked very well together at the scene and we wish the patients a quick recovery.”
