FIVE teenage schoolboys in a BMW Mini ploughed into a house on Mere Green Road on Wednesday. The car, containing five males, believed to be from Arthur Terry School and aged between 16 and 18, was travelling east from Mere Green Island when it collided with a Mitsubishi L200 jeep at around 12.35pm. The Mini came off the road and smashed into the front room of a young family’s semi-detached house. A rear passenger in the Mini was cut free from the mangled wreckage and airlifted to Selly Oak Hospital with suspected head and back injuries. His condition is not considered life threatening. The four others were taken to Good Hope Hospital with minor injuries. No one else was injured. Shocked mum Debbie Hill, aged 32, whose civil servant husband Dave, also 32, also lives at the property, had taken their three tots to nursery that morning for the first time. Dylan, aged two, and twins Evie and Maisie, aged one, would normally have been playing in the lounge. Debbie, a physiotherapist, said: “If the kids hadn’t been at nursery they would have been flattened. “I’m not bothered about the house, I’m just pleased that they are all right. “I was watching TV when I heard a huge bang. “I rushed out and four of the lads were already out but the other one seemed in a bad way. One of the neighbours was dealing with him and the paramedics were here very quickly.” The road was closed from Mere Green Island to the junction with Jordan Road while emergency crews attended the scene and enquiries were made into the collision. Witnesses are urged to contact the road policing unit at Sutton Coldfield police station on 0845 113 5000. |
