A WOMAN has died after a crash on the M5 between Droitwich and Worcester this afternoon.

It happened around 1.20pm between Junction 5 and 6.

Two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Strensham were sent to the scene.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Crews arrived at the scene to find the driver of the car in a critical condition after coming into collision with an HGV.




“Crews worked quickly to administer advanced trauma care to the woman.

“But sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save her, and she was confirmed deceased on scene.”
