To make it correct, you need an article before "hospital." You could use "the" or "a," but "the" is probably the better choice.

You also have to move the phrase "who was in a traffic accident" to be right after the word "stranger" because that's who it describes.

The correct sentence reads:
"Yesterday I sent a stranger who was is a traffic accident to the hospital."

Some people told you to put a comma after "yesterday." You can do that, but you don't have to. (That's because it's adverb, not a dependant clause, like a phrase beginning with "when" or "after" or something like that.) I wouldn't use that comma because it just slows down the sentence.

It's also optional to add more commas like this:
"Yesterday I sent a stranger, who was is a traffic accident, to the hospital."
It just depends on how you want the sentence to read. It's probably better to use those commas, but yI don't think you don't have to.

The correct way would be:

"Yesterday I sent a stranger who HAD BEEN in a traffic accident to hospital.

It's a bit strange to say "I sent a stranger to hospital" ... surely you called an ambulance for them?!

Maybe you would be better off saying "Yesterday there was a traffic accident, and a man / woman was hurt, so I called an ambulance to take him / her to hospital."
If you REALLY want to emphasise the fact that it was a stranger, you could add afterwards "I didn't know him / her, but I wanted to help."

(You only need to put 'the' in front of hospital if you're in America! We don't use it in England..!)
; )

Of course, if YOU were involved in the traffic accident, then you should say "Yesterday I was in a traffic accident, and someone was hurt. He / she had to be taken to hospital."

the right one is:

Yesterday I sent a stranger, to the hospital, who had been in a traffic accident.

No, if the hospital was in an accident, the reference is "which", not "who".
