Overview
- Emergency services were called to the A49 near the A4113 junction at about 1.30pm on Saturday after reports of a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian.
- Paramedics treated a woman in her 70s at the scene but she later died from her injuries, West Mercia Police confirmed.
- A 54-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and has since been released under investigation while enquiries continue.
- The A49 was closed in both directions for several hours after the crash and investigators are collecting evidence to reconstruct what happened.
- Local outlets have reported the vehicle as an orange Renault Arkana but police treat that detail as reported information and ask anyone with footage or information to contact Detective Constable Steve Wootton quoting reference 263 of 11 July.
