Four people, including two teenagers, have died after two separate horror crashes. The collisions happened in Chichester and Worcester within hours of each other.
The two teenagers were killed in a single-vehicle crash in Kennel Hill, Chichester, shortly after 1am this morning (Thursday, March 3). An 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were confirmed dead at the scene, Sussex Police said.
The driver and a passenger in the vehicle – both 17-year-old girls – have been taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries.
Anybody who witnessed the collision or has any information which could help with the investigation is asked to contact collision.appeal@sussex.police.uk, quoting Operation Widecombe.
A few hours earlier, at 9.36pm on Wednesday (March 2) on the A449 Ombersley in Worcester, two people were killed after a collision involving two cars. The drivers of both vehicles died at the scene.
West Mercia police officers believe that one of the cars, a white Ford Mondeo, was travelling in the wrong direction and will have joined the A449 after taking the incorrect slip road and collided with an oncoming car, a black Vauxhall Astra.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: “Upon arrival we found the drivers of the two cars both in a critical condition.
"Unfortunately, it immediately became apparent that nothing more could be done to save them and they were confirmed deceased at the scene."
