Tragedy struck in Hanbury, East Staffordshire, on Friday after a two-vehicle collision claimed the life of a woman in her 40s.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene shortly after 5pm on 8 August following reports of a crash involving a blue Volkswagen Polo and a yellow Kia Picanto. The collision happened at the junction of Tutbury Road and Hanbury Road.
Despite paramedics’ best efforts, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have informed her next of kin, who are being supported by specialist officers.
A man and another woman injured in the crash were taken to hospital but have since been released.
