Man, 82, dies after four-vehicle Shrewsbury crash
An 82-year-old man who was left injured following a four-vehicle crash in Shrewsbury has died.
The crash happened around 6pm last Wednesday on the A458 at Rowton, at the junction of Rowton Avenue.
The pensioner was taken to hospital, and has since died as a result of his injuries.
Police are continuing to appeal for witnesses, in particular anyone who saw a blue VW Polo being driven shortly before the collision.
Officers investigating the crash also want to locate a fourth vehicle that did not stop at the scene. It is believed the near nearside light on the vehicle was damaged.
Pc Simon Barnes said: "Sadly the elderly man involved in this collision has now died and our thoughts are with his family at this time.
"Our enquiries are continuing and we'd like any witnesses to get in contact, including any motorists who were in the area and have dashcam footage, in particular any footage of a blue VW Polo.
"We believe a fourth vehicle was also damaged during the collision after another vehicle drove into the back of it causing damage to the rear nearside light. The vehicle didn't stop at the scene and we're keen for this motorist to get in contact with us."
Anyone with information should ring West Mercia Police on 101 quoting reference 563s 200319.
