Officers are appealing for key witnesses after a man died following a collision in Worcestershire yesterday (Wednesday 30 July).

Around 4.50pm, on the A442 Alcester Road, a blue Ford Transit van and a lorry collided.

Sadly, the driver of the van – a 31-year-old man – suffered serious injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A third vehicle, a white Renault Trafic van, was on the road at the time of the collision and a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released under investigation.

It is believed the two vans were travelling behind each other from Inkberrow towards Worcester.

No one else was injured during the incident.

Detective Sergeant Rose Hughes from the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the family of the man who lost his life yesterday.

“Enquiries to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision are on-going, and we are now appealing to anyone who witnessed the incident, or the involved vehicles in the moments before.
