Fatal RTC in Shifnal

A man has died and a second man has been taken to hospital following a two-car RTC last night.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the A41 in Shifnal, outside Bloomsbury Nursery, at 8.19pm and sent one ambulance, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance Critical Care Car to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “On arrival crews discovered two cars that had been involved in a collision, one of which was alight.

“There was one patient from that car, a man. Sadly, it quickly became apparent nothing could be done to save him and he was confirmed dead at the scene.

“A second man, from the other car, was treated for injuries not believed to be serious before being taken to Princess Royal Hospital, Telford.”
