Witness appeal to fatal collision near Shrewsbury
Police today issued an appeal for witnesses to a road collision near Shrewsbury in which a young woman was killed.
The collision happened at round 10.40am on Saturday on the B5067 Berwick Road at Dunns Heath when a black Seat Ibiza car left the road.
