A man has died and a woman has been taken to hospital after a three-car crash on the edge of the Rugby borough last night (Tuesday).

West Midlands Ambulance Service was called at 9.55pm to Smockington Lane near Wolvey and sent two ambulances, a paramedic officer and the Air Ambulance Critical Care Car to the scene. An ambulance crew from East Midlands Ambulance Service also attended.

A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokeswoman says: “On arrival, crews discovered three cars had been involved in a collision.

“Sadly, it quickly became clear that a male patient, the driver of one of the cars, could not be saved and he was confirmed dead at the scene.

“The driver of a second car, a woman, was already out of the vehicle on arrival.

“Ambulance staff treated her for potentially serious injuries before conveying her to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for further treatment.”
