Police are appealing for witnesses after two people died in a collision in Oswestry.

At around 5pm yesterday (Sunday 17 November), two vehicles have collided on the A5 near to the Mile End roundabout.

A blue Peugeot estate had been travelling westbound towards Oswestry and a grey Renault box van had been travelling in the opposite direction before they both collided.

The driver of the van, a 33-year-old man, and the driver of the car involved, an 81-year-old man, were both sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Two passengers also travelling in the van suffered minor injuries.

Officers are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage of the incident.
