The spokesman said the road was closed for some time to allow the air ambulance to land, and added: “One of the street lamps had been knocked over, which had exposed live wires, so the road had to be closed both ways.

“The ambulance, police, fire and air ambulance were all there.

“The man was taken to Coventry by land ambulance and the woman was going to University Hospital Coventry.”
