Witness appeal to collision after woman dies

We’re appealing for witnesses to a collision on a motorway slip road.

We were called to the northbound side of the M6 at junction 3 around 5pm on Tuesday (26 May) after reports of a two-vehicle collision.

It involved the driver of a black Mercedes car and the driver of a black Mercedes taxi.

A passenger in the taxi – a woman in her 60s - was seriously injured and sadly died in hospital on 3 June. Her family are being supported by a specially trained officer.

The driver of the Mercedes was uninjured.

Enquiries into the collision are ongoing and we’re asking anyone who drove past, who saw what happened or who has dashcam footage to come forward.

Please share any information with us via our website quoting incident number 297 of 26 May or reference 23/23135/26.
