A man who died in a road collision near Bridgnorth was today named as Anthony Kenneth Gordon.
Mr Gordon, 37, of Bridgnorth, was killed when his blue Vauxhall Astra was in a collision with a silver Mitsubishi.
The collision happened on the A454 at Hilton on Saturday, just after 9pm.
Two occupants of the Mitsubishi, a man and a woman passenger, received multiple injuries.
