West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to Southfield Road on Kineton Road Industrial Estate in Southam yesterday (Thursday) at around 3.15pm.

An ambulance, a rapid response vehicle, a senior paramedic officer and the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance with a doctor on board attended the scene.
