Ludlow: Two killed in A49 lorry crash

West Midlands Ambulance said the man, 78, and woman, 79, died at the scene

Two people have died in a crash involving a lorry in south Shropshire.

It happened on Tuesday at around 11:30 GMT on the A49 near to the Sheet road roundabout in Ludlow.

West Midlands Ambulance (WMAS) said the man, 78, and a woman, 79, died at the scene, while the lorry driver was uninjured.

"Nothing could be done to save the two occupants in the car... and sadly both were confirmed deceased a short time later," WMAS said.

Their next of kin have been informed.

There have been three deaths on Shropshire's roads within two days after a 23-year-old man died in a collision with a lorry on Monday.

Police are now appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage of both incidents.
