A MAN was taken to hospital this lunchtime (December 30) after two cars crashed on Amblecote High Street.

Emergency services were called to the scene at the junction with Wollaston Road outside Ruskin Glass Centre just after noon.

Two men were treated for minor injuries; one suffered chest pains and the other pain to his arm, before one of the men was taken to Russells Hall Hospital.

The area was initially cordoned off by police causing traffic heading out of Stourbridge town centre, before the road was cleared by 2pm.
