Woman dies following A5 collision
Police have notified the IOPC
Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman died in a collision on the A5 recently.
It happened around 4.10pm on New Year's Day to the Longford Island, Cannock, following reports of a two-vehicle collision.
Officers attended along with colleagues from West Midlands Ambulance Service.
Upon arrival, a red Peugeot 306 was found involved in a collision with a blue Ford Kuga.
Following the crash, the occupants of the Ford Kuga left their vehicle and got into a red Ford Focus which then departed the scene.
Sadly, a woman in her 70s, who had been travelling in the Peugeot, was pronounced dead by paramedics a short time later.
Her next of kin are being supported by specially-trained officers at this time.
A file will shortly be prepared for HM Coroner.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct has been informed due to recent police contact involving the Ford Kuga and the Ford Focus.
