Emergency services were called at 10.07am on Tuesday to reports of a car that had crashed at the junction of River Lane and the A442.

The collision involved one vehicle, a black Nissan Qashqai which left the roadside.

A spokeswoman from West Midlands Ambulance Service said: “When crews arrived, they found a car which was badly damaged from the road traffic collision, with the driver, a woman, inside.

“Sadly, nothing could be done to save her, and she was confirmed deceased on scene.”

Sergeant Alexander Saxton said: “We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who may have seen the incident take place.”

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to call police 101 quoting incident 171 of 11 August or Crimestoppers on 0800 111555.

Two West Midlands ambulances and a paramedic officer attended the collision along with police and two fire appliances from Wellington.
