Police Appeal After Woman Killed in East Staffordshire Collision

Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman in her 40s tragically died in a two-vehicle collision in East Staffordshire.

Emergency services were called shortly after 5pm on Friday (8 August) to the junction of Tutbury Road and Hanbury Road in Hanbury following reports of a crash involving a blue Volkswagen Polo and a yellow Kia Picanto.
Detectives are particularly keen to trace the driver of a red Honda Jazz-type vehicle which, while not directly involved in the crash, was travelling along Hanbury Road towards Anslow Gate at the time and may have vital information.

A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said:

“We would like to speak to anyone who saw the collision or the events leading up to it, especially the driver of the red Honda Jazz-type vehicle, as they may have witnessed key details that could help our investigation.”

Anyone with information or dashcam footage is urged to call 101 quoting incident number 540 of 8 August, or email the Collision Investigation Unit directly at [email protected].
