POLICE have launched an appeal for witnesses after a 60-year-old man died and two others were seriously injured in a crash.

The fatal collision happened on the B439 Evesham Road near to the junction with Wixford Road in Alcester at around 6.10am on Sunday, August 4.

Warwickshire Police have said the driver of a white coloured Audi A4 was driving towards Evesham along the A439 Evesham Road and the driver of a blue coloured Fiesta was driving in the direction of Stratford upon Avon when the collision happened.

The driver of the Fiesta, a 60-year-old man from Evesham, died at the scene.

The 28-year-old driver of the Audi A4 and his 18-year-old female passenger were both seriously injured and were taken by ambulance to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for treatment.

A spokesperson for Warwickshire Police said: "The investigation into the collision is in the early stages and officers are appealing for any witnesses who saw either vehicle in the time leading up to the collision, or anyone with dashcam footage or CCTV to please contact PC 1616 Russell Pennington of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit by email at  sciu@warwickshire.police.uk or by phoning 101 quoting incident  46 of 4 August 2024".

A spokesperson for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "Three ambulances, a critical care paramedic, a paramedic officer and a critical care car from the Air Ambulance Service attended.

"Fire colleagues had rapidly extricated the driver of one car, a man, who was in a critical condition and were performing CPR.

"Ambulance staff continued advanced life support on scene but sadly, despite the best efforts of everyone, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead a short time later.

"The driver of the second car, a man, suffered serious injuries and received trauma care at the roadside before being conveyed on blue lights to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire.

"The passenger from the same car, a woman, also sustained serious injuries and the team administered trauma care to stabilise her condition before she was also conveyed to the same hospital on alert".
