A man has died in a crash between a car and a van in Coventry.

It happened at about 18:40 GMT on Thursday at the junction of Leaf Lane and the A444 dual carriageway.

The driver of the car died at the scene, West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) said.

A second man, the driver of the van, received treatment for injuries not believed to be serious and was discharged at the scene.

Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and a critical care car from the air ambulance service attended the crash.
