A man has sadly died after a collision in Shrewsbury yesterday afternoon.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 3.21pm to Longden Road and sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulances from Cosford and Tatenhill to the scene.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews found a car had come off the road and ended up on its roof.
“The driver, a man, was in a critical condition and ambulance staff immediately began administering advanced life support.
“Unfortunately, despite everyone’s best efforts, he could not be saved and was confirmed dead at the scene.
“There were no other patients.”
