THREE people have been killed in a horror crash in Worcestershire.

It happened at around 10.15pm yesterday (Wednesday, May 10) near the Duke William pub on the A456 at Callow Hill, Bewdley, and involved a blue Ford Focus and a black Audi A7

The Ford Focus was travelling towards Kidderminster and the Audi A7 towards Rock when the crash happened.

Three people in the Ford Focus were pronounced dead at the scene, a 32-year-old woman, a 28-year-old woman and a four-year-old boy.

The three people in the Audi were taken to the Worcester Royal Hospital with minor injuries.

Police inspector Stephanie Arrowsmith said “First and foremost our thoughts are with the loved ones of the people who died in the collision.

"I would like to appeal to anyone who witnessed the collision or has any information or dash-cam footage which may help with the investigation to call the investigating officers.”

West Midlands Ambulance Service sent four ambulances, two paramedic officers and the hazardous area response team (HART) to the scene.

A spokesperson for the ambulance service said: “On arrival, crews discovered two cars had been involved in a collision.

“Sadly, it quickly became apparent that the two adults and child who were in the first car could not be saved and they were confirmed dead at the scene.

“A woman and two children from the second car were treated by ambulance staff for injuries not believed to be serious before being taken to Worcester Royal Hospital for further treatment.”

The road is currently closed as officers carry out enquiries into the crash and police were expecting the road to be closed until this afternoon (May 11).
