A Community First Responder was also in attendance.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found a lorry and two pedestrians had been involved in a collision.
“A man was receiving basic life support and ambulance crews immediately took over to administer advanced life support.
