Ambulance staff 'hurting' after colleague's death

A "promising" student paramedic has died after the ambulance she was in was involved in a crash with a car.

The 31-year-old university student was airlifted to hospital and later died after the crash in Needwood, near Burton-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, at about 17:45 BST on Wednesday.

Nathan Hudson, Assistant Chief Ambulance Officer at West Midlands Ambulance Service, said staff would get all the support they needed.

Two other crew members and a female BMW driver were treated for injuries.
