A woman has sadly died and a girl has been taken to hospital after the car they were travelling in collided with a fence in Telford yesterday.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the A53 between Hodnet and the A41 in Telford at 3.23am on Sunday (29th June). An ambulance, paramedic officer and a critical care car from Midlands Air Ambulance Charity responded to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Sadly the driver, a woman, couldn’t be saved by ambulance staff and was declared deceased on scene. A young girl in the car had no apparent injuries but was taken to hospital by paramedics as a precaution for further checks.”
