A 65-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs. He has since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
The crash closed the busy A-road overnight and into the following day during police investigation work.
Several agencies attended, and the road remained closed overnight and into Wednesday.
In a previous appeal, police asked anyone who saw the crash, or who may have dashcam footage from the area to get in touch with PC Joshua Wildig by email at josh.wildig@westmercia.police.uk.
Editor's note: We would like to clarify that the man arrested is 65, not 59 as previously reported by West Mercia Police.
