GoogleA woman has died, and four other people were taken to hospital, following a head-on collision in Shropshire.
Emergency services were called to the crash involving a grey Nissan Leaf and a black Peugeot 5008 on the A49 in Shrewsbury at 16:35 BST on Sunday.
On arrival, bystanders were already performing CPR on the woman, West Midlands Ambulance Service said.
Despite efforts by paramedics and a doctor from the Midlands Air Ambulance, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A man, believed to be the driver of one of the vehicles, was treated at the scene before being flown to Royal Stoke University Hospital for further treatment.
A woman, who was a front-seat passenger, was also treated for potentially serious injuries, then flown to the same hospital.
Two teenage girls were treated at the scene for non-life threatening injuries.
One was taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital by air ambulance, while the other was taken by road.
Sgt Marc Whild, from West Mercia Police, said investigations were ongoing, and he appealed to anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward.
