POLICE investigating a fatal crash on a county A-road have renewed their appeal for witnesses as tributes are paid to two men who died in the incident.
Tributes to 46-year-old Paul Elliott and 21-year-old Finley Munro were released yesterday (October 29) following the crash on the A49 at Dinmore Hill on October 13.
Shortly after 4pm, Mr Elliott's Vauxhall Astra was involved in a crash with a Citroën C3 Picasso and a DAF lorry on the Hereford side of Dinmore Hill.
Despite the efforts of emergency services, both men died at the scene.
Detective Constable Joshua Wildig said: "Our thoughts remain firmly with family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. This is a deeply tragic incident, and we are committed to establishing exactly what happened in the moments leading up to the collision.
"We continue to carry out a thorough investigation and would urge anyone who may have witnessed the collision, or who was travelling in the area at the time and may have dashcam footage, to come forward and assist us. Even the smallest piece of information could prove vital in helping us provide answers for the family."

An inquest into the deaths of Mr Elliot and Mr Munro was opened by Senior Coroner James Bennett on Monday. The hearing was told Mr Elliot died from multiple injuries sustained in the crash, while Mr Munro suffered a fatal head injury.
The inquests were adjourned, with Mr Bennett saying he would decide whether there was sufficient reason to resume proceedings once the police investigation had run its course.
He added that the criminal investigation was likely to "take some time" and that it would probably be "months rather than weeks" before there was a meaningful update.
