Officers from the Staffordshire and West Midlands Serious Collision Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following a fatal road traffic collision on the A518 Newport Road near to Aqualate, Coley.
The collision, which occurred at around 2pm on Saturday 23 April, involved a red Hyundai and an orange Mini Cooper S.
Sadly, despite the best efforts of paramedics a man, aged 71, who was the driver and single occupant of the Hyundai, and a woman, aged 79, who was the driver and single occupant of the Mini, were both pronounced deceased at the scene. No other vehicles are believed to be involved at this stage.
The families of both drivers are being supported by specialist officers at this time.
A file will shortly be prepared for HM Coroner.
Anyone who was in the area at the time or may have any relevant dash cam footage are requested to contact Staffordshire Police on 101 quoting incident 363 of 23 April or e-mail the Collision Investigation Unit on [email protected].
