Woman dies following two car collision in Burford
A two car collision in south Shropshire has left a woman dead and a man with minor injuries.
A red Peugeot 206 was in collision with a silver Vauxhall Insignia on the A456 just out of Burford shortly after 5.15pm on Thursday.
The driver and single occupant from the Peugeot 206, which had reportedly rolled over, was trapped in the wreckage.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Sadly, it quickly became apparent to staff that nothing could be done to save the patient, a woman, and she was confirmed dead on scene.
“The driver of the Vauxhall, a 38-year-old man, sustained abdominal pain. Upon further assessment paramedics and the doctors ruled out further injuries. The man declined hospital treatment and was discharged on scene.”
Two ambulances, a senior paramedic officer, a community paramedic, a BASICS doctor from Mercia Accident Rescue Service (MARS), a MERIT trauma doctor and three paramedics from the Midlands Air Ambulance bases in Cosford and Strensham attended the scene by road.
Police are eager to establish the circumstances of the collision and ask for anyone who witnessed the incident, or the vehicles leading up to it, to call 101 quoting incident 439S of Thursday 22 January.
