A spokesperson for the WNAA, said: “The air ambulance crew worked with East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) to assess and treat the patient.

“He was given pain relief and a pelvic splint, then immobilised for flight to prevent further injury.

“As he was losing blood, WNAA activated the major haemorrhage protocol, calling the hospital ahead of time to alert them that he may need blood urgently when he arrived.”

The man was taken to University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire for further treatment, arriving at 11.08am.
