The A49 reopened this morning after being closed yesterday, and for much of the night following a fatal crash.

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the incident on the A49 at Callow Hill at approximately 11am on Thursday, November 19th.

An ambulance, together with a paramedic officer in a rapid response vehicle, attended the scene. A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman told The Ross Gazette “Crews attended a road traffic collision involving a car and lorry. Sadly, it quickly became apparent that nothing could be done to save the patient who was confirmed dead at the scene.

The lorry driver involved was assessed at the scene but did not require hospital treatment.”

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police has confirmed that the car involved in the incident was a Renault Clio.

The road was closed for several hours for police to carry out an investigation and recovery of the lorry from an embankment.
